“You Can't Stop Progress”

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

The Commonwealth of Ecotopia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ernest Callenbach with a fair hand, and remarkable for its closed borders, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 14.471 billion Ecotopians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Administration, with Healthcare, Public Transport, and Environment also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ecatepec de Morelos. The average income tax rate is 10.8%.

The strong Ecotopian economy, worth 611 trillion Sols a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 42,270 Sols, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Hotels often double as quarantine zones, the government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption, playing an online nation simulation game legally obliges you to buy the creator's latest novel, and coastal cities are being moved a dozen miles inland to reduce flooding risk. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ecotopia's national animal is the butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Mother Nature.

Ecotopia is ranked 245,936^th in the world and 298^th in Forest for Lowest Crime Rates, with 53.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
