The Queendom of E2 Ling is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 1.397 billion E2 Lingians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 50.1%.

The sizeable but underdeveloped E2 Lingian economy, worth 29.7 trillion ★★★★★★s a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,289 ★★★★★★s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

A cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, chipped paint can see a building condemned, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, and a major religion has been named as E2 Ling's national religion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. E2 Ling's national animal is the Sui, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

E2 Ling is ranked 105,177^th in the world and 6^th in Sui for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 33.5 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
