The Republic of Ehrenfest is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 7.094 billion Ehrenfestians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 58.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ehrenfestian economy, worth 852 trillion Dinars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,197 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Ehrenfest Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', children usually cry on their first day of school, undergrads find their professors' mushroom experiments less psychedelic than expected, and the Ehrenfest City Pride Parade's head banner explains how unionizing is heteronormative. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ehrenfest's national animal is the Squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ehrenfest is ranked 43,676^th in the world and 106^th in Wintreath for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 696.2 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
