The United Equatorial Federation of Ekopia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Delkón Karụloda Fidágo Hakóso Nagar with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.753 billion Ekopes are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hekopol. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ekopese economy, worth 594 trillion Ekopese Francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 215,958 Ekopese Francs, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Church and state are inseparable in their influence on education, old spellbooks are only useful as door-stops or toilet roll substitute, prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up, and prisoners regularly escape detention posing as scarecrows. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ekopia's national animal is the Rhinoceros, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ekopic Orthodox Christian Church.

Ekopia is ranked 60,933^rd in the world and 118^th in Christians for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,663.72 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
