The Free Land of Ettrecaz is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, ritual sacrifices, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.936 billion Ettrecazians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sigmund. The average income tax rate is 56.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ettrecazian economy, worth 231 trillion Ettrecaz Kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,454 Ettrecaz Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The army consists of only generals and grunts, new arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, and students memorise knock-knock jokes for their mandatory twice-a-term Comedy Examinations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ettrecaz's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ettrecaz is ranked 239,552^nd in the world and 5,997^th in the Rejected Realms for Safest, scoring 18.67 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
