The Republic of Etnon is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Peigi Åland with a fair hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.899 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 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Etnonian economy, worth 792 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 100,346 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The space program has been scrapped in order to focus on more terrestrial pursuits, kids who move from attending a public school in the city to the country often struggle in goat milking class, government expenses are beyond compare, and Peigi Åland is considering changing the Etnonian flag to one with more glitter. 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 309,898^th in the world and 878^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -20.05 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
