The Empire of FF Echo is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its burgeoning panther population. The hard-working population of 405 million FF Echoans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.2%.

The very strong FF Echoan economy, worth 23.5 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 57,922 guilders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 176,942 per year while the poor average 14,696, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. FF Echo's national animal is the panther.

FF Echo is ranked 126,785^th in the world and 1^st in Red Harbor for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,113.46 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
