The Republic of Ecania is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Henry Eaden with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.009 billion Ecanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caiben. The average income tax rate is 7.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ecanian economy, worth 237 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 118,458 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Political candidates recite daily pledges of loyalty to their chosen party, a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, economics is a shrinking field, and anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ecania's national animal is the Koala, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ecania is ranked 66,172^nd in the world and 1^st in Grand Pacifica for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 174,046 Standard Monetary Units.
