The Republic of Echo Chambers is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning dragonfly population. The hard-working population of 574 million Echo Chambersians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.5%.

The very strong Echo Chambersian economy, worth 29.2 trillion raffle tickets a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 50,808 raffle tickets, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 155,208 per year while the poor average 12,891, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Echo Chambers's national animal is the dragonfly, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Echo Chambers is ranked 192,988^th in the world and 10^th in After Hours for Most Devout, with 119.98 prayers per hour.
