The Republic of Etnon is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Peigi Åland with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.004 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 817 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 102,154 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are raised bilingual from an early age, some electoral districts are without a representative as they are stuck with perpetual revotes, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, and a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order. Crime is totally unknown. Etnon's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Etnon is ranked 4,489^th in the world and 84^th in Europe for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 95.98 Effective Tax Rate.
