The Matriarchic Sisu Khanate of Endylvia is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by The Khanum Council with a fair hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 802 million Enderkins are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Endylvia's Jewel of Joy. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Endylvinese economy, worth 64.5 trillion Amethyst Coins 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 led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 80,464 Amethyst Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, the government supplies ragtag bands of resistance fighters in exchange for vague promises of future payment, criminals identify as innocent, and an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Endylvia's national animal is the Ender Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Endylvia is ranked 11,005^th in the world and 202^nd in Europe for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 4,350.44 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
