The Indigo Gold Holy Moon of Echrinola is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Patrick Saint Nick with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.417 billion Chrinolans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Law & Order and Environment not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Randia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Chrinolan economy, worth 243 trillion gold bars a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 71,257 gold bars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 286,599 per year while the poor average 11,856, a ratio of 24.2 to 1.

Third party candidates are now gaining some representation in Parliament, grinning punters say that casino roulette is the greatest high that life has to offer, photos of picturesque coastal buildings are set against a backdrop of smokestacks and ship hulls, and calling dibs is an unalienable right. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Echrinola's national animal is the cow ghost, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is rlgion.

Echrinola is ranked 42,398^th in the world and 1,556^th in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring 60.5 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
