The Empire of FF Echo is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its burgeoning panther population. The hard-working population of 336 million FF Echoans 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, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.2%.
The very strong FF Echoan economy, worth 19.5 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 57,922 guilders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 176,942 per year while the poor average 14,696, 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. FF Echo's national animal is the panther.
FF Echo is ranked 121,642nd in the world and 1st in Red Harbor for Most Developed, scoring 58.13 on the Human Development Index.
