The Free Land of Eth Bur is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, ban on automobiles, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The democratic population of 742 million Eth Burians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eth Bur Land. The average income tax rate is 32.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Eth Burian economy, worth 21.8 trillion francs a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,386 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's Twitcher account is typically used to share dove memes rather than government policy, the government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, the government-sponsored autobiography 'A Leader For All Seasons' has only been bought by the most loyal of Leader's supporters, and couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eth Bur's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Eth Bur is ranked 47,662^nd in the world and 117^th in Wintreath for Highest Food Quality, scoring 34.47 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
