The Republic of Etnon is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Peigi Åland with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.083 billion Etnonians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santana. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Etnonian economy, worth 307 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Information Technology industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 99,728 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, and heart attack victims are thrown onto the rails. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Etnon's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Etnon is ranked 267,717^th in the world and 1,239^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -9.35 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
