The United Kingdom of Etholovenia is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its public floggings, avant-garde cinema, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, devout population of 809 million Etholovenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vercllork. The average income tax rate is 22.7%.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Etholovenian economy, worth 30.4 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,590 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Punitive tariffs protect local industry, attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, and sushi is sold on the black market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Etholovenia's national animal is the Snow Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Etholovenia is ranked 223,122^nd in the world and 1,225^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 27.75 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
