The United Federation of Etharlium is a huge, safe nation, ruled by President Lance Silverton with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 848 million Etharliumians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Spirituality, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Porto Norte. The average income tax rate is 51.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Etharliumian economy, worth 70.9 trillion Doubloons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,620 Doubloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is infamous for its mass graves of discarded robots, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, the same 848 social media bloggers always loudly and immediately agree with President Lance Silverton's every word on Twitcher, and city workers have declared that rolling markets aren't good for business after all. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Etharlium's national animal is the Deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Etharlium is ranked 72,285^th in the world and 6^th in The Democratic Assembly for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.62 law-abiding acts per hour.
