The Republic of The Eglintonian Confederation is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 198 million Eglintonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Education, although Welfare, Environment, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 19.5%.

The strong Eglintonian economy, worth 12.4 trillion Eglintonian Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 62,717 Eglintonian Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

School lockers are filled with fancy underwear, the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, and cars have been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Eglintonian Confederation's national animal is the Eglintonian Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Eglintonian Confederation is ranked 46,236^th in the world and 1,054^th in the Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,497.1 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
