The High Athelingric of Ecolace is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Asher Wiley with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.873 billion Ecolaceans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osearwynn. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ecolacean economy, worth a remarkable 1,364 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,802 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 466,991 per year while the poor average 39,364, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Snow Leopard Dung" has been declared a national treasure, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, and the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ecolace's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Adoptionism.

Ecolace is ranked 17,519^th in the world and 17^th in Snep for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,658.8 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
