The Republic of Etriya is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 4.134 billion Etriyans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monata. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Etriyan economy, worth 296 trillion Kroffs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 71,681 Kroffs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Contestants on Etriya's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, bug burgers are extra crunchy, and lonely people are supposed to be cheered up by the many parties that they are never invited to. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Etriya's national animal is the Mountain Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Etriya is ranked 259,792^nd in the world and 4,101^st in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 20,070.8 Standard Monetary Units.
