The Federation of Etherion Circadia is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, enslaved workforce, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 293 million Circadians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Etherion Forch. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.1%.

The powerhouse Circadian economy, worth 25.1 trillion Cores a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 85,746 Cores, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 256,089 per year while the poor average 22,467, a ratio of 11.4 to 1.

Investigative journalism into politicians' misbehaviour has abruptly ended, the government has returned all business to private ownership, the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, and bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Etherion Circadia's national animal is the Butterfly.

Etherion Circadia is ranked 48,820^th in the world and 1,145^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 28.05 flags saluted per person per day.
