The Federation of Etlajhia is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by President Titus Antinous with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 5.67 billion Etlajhians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Etlajhia Citadel. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Etlajhian economy, worth a remarkable 1,172 trillion Gold Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 206,762 Gold Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Elderly prisoners with severe dementia are reminded hourly that they are evil people by helpful nurse-wardens, sex education has become an intricate maze of stick figures and complex metaphors, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, and fishermen take out second mortgages to afford the yearly fishing permit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Etlajhia's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Faith of Etlajhar.

Etlajhia is ranked 7,265^th in the world and 296^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 92.53 on the Human Development Index.
