The State of Etobiko is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 10.786 billion Etobikoans enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The minute, moralistic, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.

The powerhouse Etobikoan economy, worth 445 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. Average income is 41,274 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 141,601 per year while the poor average 8,829, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Etobiko's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Etobiko is ranked 263,570^th in the world and 6^th in The Protector for Lowest Crime Rates, with 43.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
