The Free Land of ECC Finland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by David Mitchell with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.05 billion Finns are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helsinki. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Finnish economy, worth 77.8 trillion Euros a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,136 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Brown Bear, the entire entry for ECC Finland in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', and the new national mascot has to be wheeled onto the field of play. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ECC Finland's national animal is the Brown Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Social Democracy.

ECC Finland is ranked 264,259^th in the world and 6,403^rd in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 1.03 flags saluted per person per day.
