The Constitutional Monarchy of Eichorn is a large, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 118 million Eichornians 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 Administration, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 36.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Eichornian economy, worth 5.64 trillion measures a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,814 measures, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Advertisers are struggling to make water sound cool to a twitchy public, being dead no longer has any benefits, political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, and employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eichorn's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eichorn is ranked 148,446^th in the world and 285^th in Saint Osmund for Most Developed, scoring 56.16 on the Human Development Index.
