The Democratic States of ECFS is a mid-sized, efficient nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 95 million Fieldstoners hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The very strong Cool economy, worth 5.80 trillion ID cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 61,033 ID cards, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, retirement apartments house giggling grannies who delightedly watch blank TVs all day long, diaper sales are up, and nude folks shun cloaks at the seashore. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. ECFS's national animal is the Eating Gardenblob, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

ECFS is ranked 242,504^th in the world and 1^st in Fieldston for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
