The Queen's State of Ethoe

The Queen's State of Ethoe is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.31 billion Ethoeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Education and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.

The very strong Ethoean economy, worth 581 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 28,627 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 194,632 per year while the poor average 1,538, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ethoe's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ethoe is ranked 108,470^th in the world and 3^rd in Hesse for Most Beautiful Environments, with 554.35 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
