The Kpahud fūrãvò manāka of Ethensia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Nelson Chamelegar with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, unlimited-speed roads, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.56 billion Ethensians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carlton Capitol. The average income tax rate is 57.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ethensian economy, worth 437 trillion Ethensian Commonwealth Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 122,976 Ethensian Commonwealth Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, Widow Twankey complains about being "cancelled", and advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references. Crime is totally unknown. Ethensia's national animal is the Feathered Chamelegar Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ethensia is ranked 16,691^st in the world and 1^st in Coyphus for Most Cultured, scoring 98 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
