The Unitary Technocracy of Etoile Arcture is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Soledad Martin with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and national health service. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 30.122 billion Etolians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, although Defense, Education, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Corinth. The average income tax rate is 2.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Etolian economy, worth a remarkable 8,658 trillion Simoleons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 287,448 Simoleons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, the government is lending a hand to private industry, and the nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet. Crime is totally unknown. Etoile Arcture's national animal is the Hirsute Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Etoile Arcture is ranked 231,950^th in the world and 4^th in Nova for Most Pacifist, with 4.1 Cheeks Turned Per Day.
