The United Baathist Republic of Etheinia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Qusay Hussein with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.648 billion Arabs are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aleppo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Arabic economy, worth 614 trillion Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 132,211 Dinars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 427,292 per year while the poor average 30,915, a ratio of 13.8 to 1.

Military spending is on the increase, homeless people are frequently charged with trespassing on public property, teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, and labour strikes are routinely squashed by police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Etheinia's national animal is the Osprey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Islam.

Etheinia is ranked 90,699^th in the world and 11^th in Independent Nations for Most Stationary, with 87.44350653612 Days.
