The Oppressed Peoples of Ecstatica is a mid-sized, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 80 million Ecstaticans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 18.2%.

The Ecstatican economy, worth 3.54 trillion golds a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,247 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, and more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ecstatica's national animal is the Tirich weasel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ecstatica is ranked 236,447^th in the world and 131^st in The Northern Cheek for Most Developed, scoring 52.3 on the Human Development Index.
