The Friendly Backpacker of The Eternal Sightseer is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 10.956 billion Eternal Sightseerians 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 juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 50.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Eternal Sightseerian economy, worth 358 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 32,721 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids who move from attending a public school in the city to the country often struggle in goat milking class, citizens who refuse to vote are guillotined, a traveller who once stubbed a toe on an Air Brancaland flight has been offered asylum, and military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Eternal Sightseer's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Eternal Sightseer is ranked 11,696^th in the world and 1^st in Unity of Green Pastures for Most Primitive, scoring 91.38 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
