The Democratic Commonwealth of Ecclestia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President André Leversha with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, complete lack of prisons, and national health service. 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, with Healthcare, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda, 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 1,105th in the world and 2nd in Union of Christian Nations for Most Developed, scoring 98.48 on the Human Development Index.
