The Kingdom of Ecotopia Town is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, anti-smoking policies, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 542 million Ecotopia Townians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.1%.

The Ecotopia Townian economy, worth 28.0 trillion hounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is 51,626 hounds, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.

People who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common, and voting is voluntary. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ecotopia Town's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ecotopia Town is ranked 180,010th in the world and 30th in The waters for Most Developed, scoring 53.57 on the Human Development Index.
