The Fallenist Realm of Ecrines is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Chief Marshall Fallen with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, strictly enforced bedtime, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 9.732 billion Fallenists are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Libertalia. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fallenist economy, worth a remarkable 1,499 trillion Fallen dollars 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. 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 an impressive 154,096 Fallen dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new, citizens who want to celebrate the holidays generally deck the halls with old newspaper trimmings and dirty socks, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, and weapons produced by newly nationalized armaments factories have been found to contain sawdust instead of gunpowder. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ecrines's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Fallenism.

Ecrines is ranked 32,042^nd in the world and 1,755^th in Osiris for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,457.37 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
