The Grand Duchy of Enithica is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 565 million Enithicans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fjörgyien. The average income tax rate is 48.4%.

The powerhouse Enithican economy, worth 54.1 trillion stonebucks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 95,763 stonebucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government will gladly pay you next Tuesday for a hamburger today, teachers flinch when students raise their hands too quickly, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, and public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help. Crime is totally unknown. Enithica's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Enithica is ranked 284,095^th in the world and 1,487^th in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 24.83 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
