“To each according to her need”

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

The Matriarchy of Ethorie is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 434 million Ethorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Welfare, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Defense isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eloi. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ethorian economy, worth 35.1 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 80,762 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, and police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ethorie's national animal is the jellyfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ethorie is ranked 89,097^th in the world and 138^th in Refugia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 107.44 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
