The Community of Ecrax is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, keen interest in outer space, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate population of 4.924 billion Ecraxians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ecraxian economy, worth 623 trillion Sreeris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 126,586 Sreeris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is no other place with more lab coats per square mile than former houses of worship, primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, and the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ecrax's national animal is the Ebony Cichlid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ecrax is ranked 251,173^rd in the world and 5,144^th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.75 kickbacks per hour.
