“We Quell the Storm, and Ride the Thunder”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Ethnon Battalion is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, frequent executions, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed population of 5.049 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ethnon Battalionian economy, worth 349 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 69,131 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Artists are pillars of society, the majority of the country's traffic wardens have been sacked overnight, the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, and people can often be seen driving to work in war-surplus tanks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ethnon Battalion's national animal is the Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ethnon Battalion is ranked 29,003^rd in the world and 1,099^th in Osiris for Most Primitive, scoring 71.63 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
