The Dominion of Eclipsus is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Governess Ravencroft with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, digital currency, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.432 billion Eclipsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eclipso. The average income tax rate is 75.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Eclipsian economy, worth 441 trillion Yuls a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 181,359 Yuls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street, it is popularly believed that "cheese every day keeps disaster away", security reviews double as corporate marketing, and anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eclipsus's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Eclipsus is ranked 33,337th in the world and 1st in Eclipsa for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 26,256.05 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
