The Sultanate of Echler is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.075 billion Echleri are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Echleri economy, worth 93.6 trillion Echleri tomen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Retail. Average income is 18,433 Echleri tomen, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, shouting contests are an important part of government job interviews, and local government operates tolls on every village road. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Echler's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Echler is ranked 294,454^th in the world and 29^th in Shalibvia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
