The Republic of Equations of State is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.657 billion Equations of Stateans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Spirituality, although Defense and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The Equations of Statean economy, worth 308 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 46,279 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 298,278 per year while the poor average 2,901, a ratio of 102 to 1.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Equations of State's national animal is the tortoise, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Equations of State is ranked 287,708th in the world and 9,858th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 3.97973356408 days.
