The Expeditionary Force of The Ecalpan Kangun is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.894 billion Ecalpans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Teito. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ecalpan economy, worth 735 trillion kobans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 188,970 kobans, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 920,545 per year while the poor average 22,354, a ratio of 41.2 to 1.

The national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, children are seen fighting in the playground for bread scraps that fall out of diamond-encrusted lunchboxes, the nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically, and the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Ecalpan Kangun's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Caesaropapism.

The Ecalpan Kangun is ranked 147,058^th in the world and 309^th in Concord for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 2,404.95 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
