The Community of Deep Eco is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the tribal council with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.825 billion ecologists love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 25.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish ecological economy, worth 277 trillion θalers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,612 θalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's forests are full of treasure hunters in military-grade survival gear, in the mighty jungle the lion once again sleeps tonight, military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, and pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits. Crime is totally unknown. Deep Eco's national animal is the earthworm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is scientific literacy.

Deep Eco is ranked 85,591^st in the world and 1^st in AnPrim for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 112 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
