Ekena is a Pythian island country located between the South Kaido Sea, Meloji Sea, & the Mouth Gulf, on the Meager Ocean. With it sharing it's maritime borders with Kaidokoku, Vesquire, and Nishikaigan. It consists of over 50 islands with the largest being ‘Ēkena which is 93,560 km^2.

The islands of ‘Ēkena were once uninhabited until after the Absukians came in the 50's after the Great Reset. Absukians before the Great Reset were once hypothesized to have lived or originally came from the 4 Oceans of Sparkalia and possessed magical powers akin to the natives. However after the Great Reset, they have seemingly lossed the ability to utilize magic and have relied on technology and other inventions to bolster their society in a magic-dominated world. That is until after the people not of this world started to come in and usher in a new era of technology in the 1360's. With Polslava being one of the nations that ‘Ēkena had developed and established relations with and bolstered ties to. Who have in turned helped grow the nations economic and technological prowess.

‘Ēkena remains to be a neutral country who doesn't seek to align itself with alliances such as the Pythian Union or other regional or international alliances and remain to be on good terms with nations in Sparkalia. Though this means that they would have to rely on themselves when it comes to wars and thus they spend a bit of money into their military. Though colonial holdings near them such as the islands held by Nova Solarius and Nishikaigan has spooked the government of ‘Ēkena. Fearing that they may be subjected to the whims or plays of the Imperial Powers in Sparkalia. They enacted a limited conscription of soldiers to keep their military at a similar amount of manpower so as it doesn't fluctuate. Keeping a lot of reserves for when they are needed for a defensive war.

As a developed country, it had went major economic, social, and technological changes from the 1470's till now, having transformed from a industrial society to a post-modern society. The service sector dominates the nation economy of ‘Ēkena, followed by the industrial sector, then the agricultural sector.
