The Real Democracy of Old Kings of Eciolp is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its parental licensing program. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.098 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, the Environment, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lower Holy Haysville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36%. A small private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want, and the judicial system legislates morality. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eciolp's national animal is the Freedom Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Gold Nugget.

Eciolp is ranked 4th in the region and 9,263rd in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
