The Republic of Eggrest is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Nico Fijolek with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.319 billion Eggrestians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leason. The average income tax rate is 33.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Eggrestian economy, worth 84.7 trillion Leafs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,214 Leafs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government is interviewing for thousands of 'Religious Censor' positions, candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, the government is slowly introducing social welfare programs, and families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Eggrest's national animal is the Hamster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholic.

Eggrest is ranked 103,148^th in the world and 10^th in Poland for Safest, scoring 81.07 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
