The Corgious Empire of Etanur is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by the Emperor with an iron fist, and renowned for its vat-grown people, soft-spoken computers, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate, cynical population of 17.458 billion Etanurians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corgi-on-the-Wold. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Etanurian economy, worth a remarkable 3,438 trillion fuzzbutts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, 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, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 196,943 fuzzbutts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter, bug burgers are extra crunchy, most ambassadors from Etanur retire only a few years after being appointed, and the government's economic policy can be summed up as "Abort, Retry, Fail?". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Etanur's national animal is the corgi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Scientific Splootism.

Etanur is ranked 314,302^nd in the world and 5,800^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -20.27 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
