The Free Land of Etereass is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its digital currency, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 372 million Menaces 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 juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Menace economy, worth 26.2 trillion Spits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,313 Spits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers, movie references are legally admissible in court, attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, and community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Etereass's national animal is the Baboon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Etereass is ranked 231,102^nd in the world and 73^rd in Estalcia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,606.18 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
