The Commonwealth of Ecoma is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Ethan Kanogal with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.501 billion Ecomen 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Enconia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.3%.

The thriving Ecoman economy, worth 100 trillion Currents a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 66,671 Currents, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Ethan Kanogal has just been declared ruler of Ecoma in an international press conference, youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and discarded pennies litter the streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ecoma's national animal is the emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ecoma is ranked 79,740^th in the world and 2^nd in Project for Rudest Citizens, with 63.46 insults per minute.
