The Republic of Etnon is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Peigi Åland with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.115 billion Etnonians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santana. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Etnonian economy, worth 839 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 103,390 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The state pays for care of easily preventable illnesses, factories are regularly demolished to make way for low-cost housing areas, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, and mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Etnon's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Etnon is ranked 2,146^th in the world and 47^th in Europe for Least Corrupt Governments, with 96.3 percentage of bribes refused.
