The Democratic Commonwealth of Ecclestia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by the President of Ecclestia with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 24.014 billion Ecclestians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Industry also on the agenda, while Defense is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Birmingham. The average income tax rate is 65.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ecclestian economy, worth a remarkable 6,017 trillion Ecclestian Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 250,583 Ecclestian Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, high school bands practice by moonlight, all you have to do is pray to get into Ecclestia, and supermarket milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets. 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 290,743^rd in the world and 118^th in Union of Christian Nations for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.28 kickbacks per hour.
