The Federation of Ecalpa is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the chancellor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, unlimited-speed roads, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 40.128 billion Ecalpans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The tiny, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Siloportema. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Ecalpan economy, worth a remarkable 9,847 trillion kobans a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 245,397 kobans, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 781,765 per year while the poor average 58,602, a ratio of 13.3 to 1.
The nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, internet service is too costly for normal people to purchase, and a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Ecalpa's national animal is the timber wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Black Guelph.
Ecalpa is ranked 286,024th in the world and 431st in The League for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring -21.21 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
