The Matriarchy of Ethorie is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 642 million Ethorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eloi. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ethorian economy, worth 60.6 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 94,404 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, paleogeneticists have taken a Jurassic bite out of the budget, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, and the government funds large training centres to turn jellyfish into functioning members of society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ethorie's national animal is the jellyfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ethorie is ranked 307,929^th in the world and 185^th in Refugia for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -12.28 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
