The Great Theocratic State of Etwepe is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Theocratic Dictator Tómas Makároph with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, anti-smoking policies, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, devout population of 1.794 billion Ephelíos have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government prioritizes Spirituality, although Administration, Industry, and Environment are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Constantinople. The average income tax rate is 48.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Ephelíos economy, worth 118 trillion Stamks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,130 Stamks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Kids are gathering at the local soda shop to celebrate staying out past sundown, schoolchildren are taught to boo and hiss at Theocratic Dictator Tómas Makároph's name, there is a thriving underground gay scene, and Ephelíos seem to be catching more chills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Etwepe's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Greco-Russian Orthodoxy.

Etwepe is ranked 102,864^th in the world and 3^rd in Commonwealth of Orthodox States for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 48.46 Effective Tax Rate.
