The United Socialist States of Ekreli is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Tungaskt Finker with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.253 billion Ekrelians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ogsfan. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ekrelian economy, worth 631 trillion Profels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 194,064 Profels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Tungaskt Finker is a silly poophead, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, and government bureaucrats shut down teenage yard-raking businesses for being counter-revolutionary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ekreli's national animal is the Leech, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Ekreli is ranked 4,784^th in the world and 47^th in Europeia for Most Cultured, scoring 163 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
