The Federacy of Ethoralia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Sebastian Garcia with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.083 billion Ethoralians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ephiroburg. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ethoralian economy, worth a remarkable 2,129 trillion Ethoralian denars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 192,150 Ethoralian denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, vast amounts of energy are expended moving water to hilltop lakes, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, and farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ethoralia's national animal is the Blue jay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Terra Materism.

Ethoralia is ranked 1,562^nd in the world and 3^rd in The Union of Democratic States for Lowest Crime Rates, with 153.99 law-abiding acts per hour.
