The Brightmare of Ecliael is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, restrictive gun laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 825 million Ecliaens are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aureolesse Nyx. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.

The very strong Ecliaen economy, worth 63.0 trillion silphs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 76,383 silphs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 269,151 per year while the poor average 15,689, a ratio of 17.2 to 1.

More sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, newspapers may not print any negative stories about the government, the nation's youth would rather watch paint dry than the news, and youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Ecliael's national animal is the viper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ecliael is ranked 93,035^th in the world and 2^nd in Forum Squared for Highest Average Incomes, with 76,383.12 Standard Monetary Units.
