The Federal Republic of Eckie-Cola is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.973 billion Eckie-Colans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The powerhouse Eckie-Colan economy, worth 704 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is 88,402 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 253,823 per year while the poor average 24,482, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

The acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, the government funds private schools for intellectually gifted children, citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process, and kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Eckie-Cola's national animal is the Cappy, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Eckie-Cola is ranked 143,347th in the world and 2,861st in Balder for Most Stationary, with 188.530261285 days.
