The Cultural Capitalists of Echoslavia is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Alexander Henry Gonzalez with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, compulsory vegetarianism, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.336 billion Echoslavians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Geruva. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Echoslavian economy, worth 898 trillion Echaran dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,194 Echaran dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, beggars lack pockets for spare change, and recent events have left citizens both shaken and stirred. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Echoslavia's national animal is the Orangutan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Echoslavia is ranked 303,531^st in the world and 86^th in Pax Indica for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -16.97 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
