The Colony of Ecrel3 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 6.573 billion Ecrel3ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 23.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Ecrel3ian economy, worth 243 trillion Ecrelian Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,091 Ecrelian Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is almost non-existent. Ecrel3's national animal is the Flying Dodo, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Ecrel3 is ranked 138,391^st in the world and 39^th in RAILGUN for Highest Poor Incomes, with 24,173.76 Standard Monetary Units.
