The Republic of Echolilia Traveler is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 16.612 billion Echolilia Travelerians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Echolilia Travelerian economy, worth 156 trillion dinoes 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, fairly diversified black market in Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. 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 9,416 dinoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, even the most lowly council pen-pusher has the same political power as a senior minister, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Echolilia Traveler City. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Echolilia Traveler's national animal is the Albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Echolilia Traveler is ranked 36,493^rd in the world and 330^th in 10000 Islands for Safest, scoring 106.69 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
