The Free Land of ECC Netherlands is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Jezza with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.01 billion Dutch are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amsterdam. The average income tax rate is 74.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Dutch economy, worth 79.6 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,846 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia, pre-schoolers who draw stick figures of their favorite celebrities are sued for infringing image rights, and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ECC Netherlands's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

ECC Netherlands is ranked 36,510^th in the world and 2,137^th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 47.21 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
