The Democratic Republic of 3colandia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Elisa Marchetti with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 2.616 billion Ecolandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ecolandia. The average income tax rate is 53.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient 3colandian economy, worth 291 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,329 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, and teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 3colandia's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cattolica.

3colandia is ranked 14,888^th in the world and 291^st in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,242.55 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
