The Protectorate of Ecostria is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its digital currency, lack of airports, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 8.152 billion Ecostrians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Industry, and Healthcare. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ecostrian economy, worth a remarkable 2,394 trillion biodiversity indexes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Gambling and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 293,671 biodiversity indexes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No one gossips with Leader during diplomatic summits, sleazy politicians exploit the Parliamentary Code of Conduct to purge their rivals, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and harassed women are constantly hassled by guys who are "just giving them compliments". Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ecostria's national animal is the homo sapiens, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ecostria is ranked 1,669^th in the world and 5^th in Fuseishuu for Largest Governments, scoring 57.99 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
