The Democratic States of Greater Etherial

“Together we are strong, Devided we fall”

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

The Democratic States of Greater Etherial is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Thomas Carter with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, devout population of 4.104 billion Greater Etherialians 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, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aetherialis. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Greater Etherialian economy, worth 636 trillion Ethers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 154,983 Ethers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is something rotten in the state of Greater Etherial, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, souvenir shops that sell alphorns are taking advantage of gullible tourists, and sailors spend their shore leave helping old ladies cross the street. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Etherial's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Protestantism.

Greater Etherial is ranked 4,759^th in the world and 94^th in 10000 Islands for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,410.31 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
