The Matriarchy of Ethorie is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, state-planned economy, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate population of 457 million Ethorians, 435 million of whom are zombies, are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eloi. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ethorian economy, worth 61.2 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 94,608 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government funds large training centres to turn jellyfish into functioning members of society, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, research grant proposals read like political diatribes, and adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ethorie's national animal is the jellyfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ethorie is ranked 4,843^rd in the world and 53^rd in Refugia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,552.87 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
