The Republic of Free Ecuador is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Ricardo Fernández with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.751 billion Free Ecuadorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Quito. The average income tax rate is 47.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Free Ecuadorian economy, worth 115 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,135 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, and new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free Ecuador's national animal is the Condor, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Free Ecuador is ranked 25,272^nd in the world and 190^th in Europeia for Safest, scoring 111.19 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
