The Kingdom of Ecreland is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, anti-smoking policies, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic population of 520 million Ecres are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skua. The average income tax rate is 37.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Ecrelandian economy, worth 22.7 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,587 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government seizes all major gold finds, political hopefuls must announce their intentions decades in advance to accommodate extensive background checks, fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget, and exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ecreland's national animal is the Vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ecreland is ranked 46,922^nd in the world and 26^th in India for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.96 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
