The Merchant Republic of Environmental Support is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate population of 19.33 billion Environmentalists enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small, liberal government is primarily concerned with Education, with Healthcare, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Welfare and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alcove Harbour. The average income tax rate is 31.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Environmentalist economy, worth a remarkable 3,912 trillion Drachmas a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 202,402 Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Being Leader has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, foreign leaders are advising that Leader's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, and military spending is on the increase. Crime is totally unknown. Environmental Support's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Environmental Support is ranked 120,778^th in the world and 13^th in Free Market Federation for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.64 law-abiding acts per hour.
