The Queendom of Ecsed is a very large, pleasant nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 245 million Ecsedites 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Spirituality are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. The average income tax rate is 32.5%.

The Ecsedi economy, worth 9.52 trillion bloods a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 38,839 bloods, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Only those who apply can study applied maths, Ecsedites seem to be catching more chills, every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains, and the government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots. Crime is moderate. Ecsed's national animal is the human.

Ecsed is ranked 317,329^th in the world and 13^th in Thule Alba for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.05 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
