The Free Land of Lightecho is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lightstar with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 4.226 billion Lightechoans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Camp. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Lightechoan economy, worth 190 trillion Herbs 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 45,065 Herbs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Lightecho" at foreigners, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, and the citizenship exam requires years of study to actually pass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lightecho's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Starclan.

Lightecho is ranked 114,195th in the world and 17th in The Empires And Republics Of Power for Most Stationary, with 339.74528256288 days.
