The Republic of Etnon is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Peigi Åland with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, daily referendums, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.1 billion Etnonians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santana. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Etnonian economy, worth 309 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Information Technology industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 99,744 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, large-girthed charity workers assign themselves healthy wages for their work with starving children, and scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new. 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 4,695^th in the world and 93^rd in Europe for Safest, scoring 132.11 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
