The Republic of Ettenmoors is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.487 billion Ettenmoorsians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The very strong Ettenmoorsian economy, worth 316 trillion rubledollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 57,749 rubledollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 299,490 per year while the poor average 6,033, a ratio of 49.6 to 1.

Crime is a problem. Ettenmoors's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Ettenmoors is ranked 242,124^th in the world and 7,965^th in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 100.6 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
