The Colony of Ethnon Army is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by General Marcus Antonius with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.91 billion Soldiers 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tony's Place. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.1%.

The very strong Ethnonian Serviceman economy, worth 315 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,372 Credits, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

A Lazarus Tourist Association survey has rated Ethnon Army #1 for number twos, equality looks curiously unequal, white strait-jackets are the new orange jumpsuits, and armoured pyjamas are in fashion amongst the nation's nobility. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive. Ethnon Army's national animal is the Goat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ethnon Army is ranked 255,833rd in the world and 9,410th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.31 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
