The Esteemed Kingdom of Ethyra is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen Andréas Bonieör with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.136 billion Ethyrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Healthcare, with Education, Law & Order, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ausreich. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Ethyran economy, worth 113 trillion Ethyrian Reichs a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,236 Ethyrian Reichs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Both criminals and civilians are DOA, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, all screens are equal but some are more equal than others, and prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ethyra's national animal is the Eule, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ethyrian Protestant.

Ethyra is ranked 102,816^th in the world and 169^th in The Union of Democratic States for Highest Food Quality, scoring 22.53 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
