The Federation of Enterise is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Erik D'arcy with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.471 billion Entereans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ultimea City. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Enterisean economy, worth 171 trillion Endliches a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 116,744 Endliches, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, major internet servers have acquired citizenship, Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Enterise, and the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Enterise's national animal is the Vulture, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Mulyonoism.

Enterise is ranked 47,907^th in the world and 856^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 77.84 on the Human Development Index.
