The Cultural Capitalists of Echoslavia is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Alexander Henry Gonzalez with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.749 billion Echoslavians 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Geruva. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Echoslavian economy, worth 915 trillion Echaran dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,879 Echaran dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, the urban poor thumbs down the new hitchhiking ban, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, and citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Echoslavia's national animal is the Orangutan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Echoslavia is ranked 242,203^rd in the world and 108^th in Pax Indica for Safest, scoring 35.01 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
