The High Athelingric of Etaopia is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Asher Wiley with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.7 billion Etaopians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osearwynn. The average income tax rate is 67.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Etaopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,572 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,765 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, bureaucrats close new businesses for not complying with the Penguin Packaging Index, the nation's skies are now a wasteland, and a widely accepted trade policy is "tit-for-tat". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Etaopia's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Adoptionism.

Etaopia is ranked 87,098^th in the world and 199^th in Snep for Largest Populations, with 8.70 billion capita.
