The Demon of -Etna- is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Etna with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 13.733 billion Etnaians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Netherworld. The average income tax rate is 35.9%.

The powerhouse Etnaian economy, worth a remarkable 1,342 trillion souls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 97,720 souls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Women give birth underneath so many blankets that the doctor can't feel the bump, nations that kill an Etnaian can expect a strongly worded letter, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, and drivers regularly pull over for nonexistent police cars. Crime is totally unknown. -Etna-'s national animal is the prinny, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Satanism.

-Etna- is ranked 132,882^nd in the world and 6^th in October for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,454.27 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
