The Republic of Eagle 19 is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 2.104 billion Eagle 19ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 35.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Eagle 19ian economy, worth 20.2 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,580 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eagle 19's national animal is the eagle.

Eagle 19 is ranked 157,754^th in the world and 1^st in Rosette nebula for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 831.57 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
