The Democratic Commonwealth of Ecclestia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President André Leversha with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 29.1 billion Ecclestians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Administration are also considered important, while Defense receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bermstad. The average income tax rate is 9.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ecclestian economy, worth a remarkable 7,530 trillion Francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 258,796 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Mandatory state-funded classes teach Libertarianism, at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to President André Leversha's wardrobe, yawning is a sure sign of unemployment, and there's never a spare chair in the retirement home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ecclestia's national animal is the Wallaby, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ecclestia is ranked 3,938^th in the world and 2^nd in Union of Christian Nations for Highest Poor Incomes, with 177,252 Standard Monetary Units.
