The Colony of Ethnon Hunter is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 5.108 billion Ethnonians 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 juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.8%.

The very strong Ethnon Hunterian economy, worth 438 trillion Credits 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 Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 85,776 Credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Recognised healthcare professionals treat diabetes with a grain of sugar in a barrel of water, the government seems embarrassed to be seen governing, dictionary sales have hit an all-time high, and children entertain themselves by throwing rocks through the windows of world-class museums. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ethnon Hunter's national animal is the Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ethnon Hunter is ranked 210,451^st in the world and 8,300^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 33.29 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
