The Unified Republic of Eticia is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by President Symon Lovell with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.227 billion Eticians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Molthier. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Etician economy, worth 962 trillion Etician Lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 154,594 Etician Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The monarchy goes down the drain with a royal flush, museum visitors often bring lemons and black lights, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, and travelers praise airports for their endless beige corridors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eticia's national animal is the Typhorian Lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Creed of Spectrum.

Eticia is ranked 97,523^rd in the world and 776^th in the West Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,374.22 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
