The Golden Pavilions of Ecotate is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Queen Lilac with a fair hand, and renowned for its absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 11.595 billion Ecotans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fytos. The average income tax rate is 19.4%.

The Ecotian economy, worth 572 trillion Airs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 49,350 Airs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, Queen Lilac has just been declared ruler of Ecotate in an international press conference, and Ecotate has designated Fytos as its capital city. Crime is well under control. Ecotate's national animal is the plant, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Plants.

Ecotate is ranked 165,060^th in the world and 211^th in Forest for Most Developed, scoring 54.92 on the Human Development Index.
