The Empire of Etruritania is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Imperator Caesar Augustus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, flagrant waste-dumping, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 21.871 billion Etruritanians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business individuals is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Environment and Education not funded at all. Income tax is unheard of.
The Etruritanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,753 trillion Golden Byzants a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is 80,177 Golden Byzants, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 346,057 per year while the poor average 11,833, a ratio of 29.2 to 1.
Foreign lack of enthusiasm for Etruritanian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli, the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, Air Etruritania tickets have reached sky-high prices due to a complete monopoly on air travel, and distant and obscure male relatives succeed to the Etruritanian throne. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Etruritania's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Etruritania is ranked 168,150th in the world and 3,452nd in Balder for Most Stationary, with 106.38682080128 days.
