The Federation of Echoslavia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Alexander Henry Gonzalez with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.543 billion Echoslavians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Geruva. The average income tax rate is 56.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Echoslavian economy, worth 374 trillion Echaran dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,377 Echaran dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, almost all products in Echoslavia are hand-crafted due to strict employment laws, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", and returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable 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 244,874^th in the world and 30^th in Autropolis for Smartest Citizens, with 1.76 quips per hour.
