The Golden Throne Room of Ethnon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Marcus Antonius with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 12.974 billion Ethnonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Moral High Ground. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Ethnonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,806 trillion Tetradrachms a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 216,335 Tetradrachms, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, the arms industry is strictly regulated, teen parties are often ruined by wet blanket chaperones, and diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ethnon's national animal is the Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is A Pantheon of Gods.

Ethnon is ranked 28,436^th in the world and 712^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 39.64 flags saluted per person per day.
