The Federal Republic of Nova Ecloinia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, national health service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed population of 672 million Ecloinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nidus De Opulentia. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Nova Ecloinian economy, worth 75.2 trillion Numuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 111,882 Numuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Nova Ecloinia, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, tuba players are paid to quietly whisper into their instruments, and political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Ecloinia's national animal is the Griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nova Ecloinia is ranked 130,807^th in the world and 6,606^th in The North Pacific for Most Devout, with 8.3 Prayers Per Hour.
