State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,681 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Etort Sca Talksis's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
