The Republic of Ecnalubma is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 132 million Ecnalubmen enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 23.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Ecnalubman economy, worth 5.71 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,227 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Owning a fishing rod can cause you to be subject to military questioning, most barbers are also surgeons, returning tourists and businessmen are detained without trial if they belong to the "wrong" religion, and arbitration is mightier than the sword. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ecnalubma's national animal is the Dinosaur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ecnalubma is ranked 215,140^th in the world and 4,941^st in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 269.16 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
