The People's Ecological Union of Nation of Ecologists is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Jane Farroway with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.175 billion Ecologists are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eco-City. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Ecological economy, worth 91.8 trillion Leaves a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales. Average income is 21,992 Leaves, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, homophobia is off the menu, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nation of Ecologists's national animal is the Scarlet Macaw, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nation of Ecologists is ranked 78,479^th in the world and 230^th in Forest for Smartest Citizens, with 36.68 quips per hour.
