“Act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God”

Overview • Factbook • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Democratic Commonwealth of Ecclestia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President André Leversha with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, unlimited-speed roads, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 29.106 billion Ecclestians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda, while Defense isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bermstad. The average income tax rate is 9.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ecclestian economy, worth a remarkable 7,532 trillion Francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 258,796 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Mandatory state-funded classes teach Libertarianism, at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to President André Leversha's wardrobe, yawning is a sure sign of unemployment, and there's never a spare chair in the retirement home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ecclestia's national animal is the Wallaby, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ecclestia is ranked 1,799^th in the world and 3^rd in Union of Christian Nations for Most Cultured, scoring 278 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
