The Colony of Ethnon Rifles is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.966 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 Defense, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Ethnon Riflesian economy, worth 367 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 74,028 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives, rag-wearing teachers are often mistaken for homeless people, crossing the road requires a risk assessment, and the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ethnon Rifles's national animal is the Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Ethnon Rifles is ranked 70,900th in the world and 4,120th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
