The Indigo Gold Holy Moon of Echrinola is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Patrick Saint Nick with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.445 billion Chrinolans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Law & Order and Environment not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Randia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Chrinolan economy, worth 244 trillion gold bars a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 70,878 gold bars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 237,883 per year while the poor average 15,672, a ratio of 15.2 to 1.

Drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, extreme hiring regulations mean a job in Echrinola is often a lifetime appointment, the sidewalk is used as an overtaking lane by city drivers, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Echrinola's national animal is the cow ghost, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is rlgion.

Echrinola is ranked 48,281^st in the world and 1,913^th in Lazarus for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,293.85 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
