The United Socialist States of Encaoua is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 298 million Encaouans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nikiema. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Encaouan economy, worth 24.2 trillion Dinars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,106 Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, Encaouans are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police, and public parks are littered with cigarette butts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Encaoua's national animal is the Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Encaoua is ranked 219,593^rd in the world and 313^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 25,467.43 Standard Monetary Units.
