The Republic of Eterculauia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Aila Södervaara with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, parental licensing program, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.365 billion Eterculauians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Administration, with Education, Industry, and Welfare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yukibert. The average income tax rate is 53.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Eterculauian economy, worth 355 trillion eterkulau crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,423 eterkulau crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, and condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eterculauia's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

Eterculauia is ranked 74,983^rd in the world and 298^th in The Frontier Sea for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,051.99 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
