The Armed Republic of Etaima is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The cynical, devout population of 2.332 billion Etaimen are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Timani. The average income tax rate is 51.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Etaiman economy, worth 157 trillion Ginas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,391 Ginas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, cities are engulfed by smog, enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, and vital intelligence-gathering activities are often put on hold for Call of Honor tournaments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Etaima's national animal is the Enkali, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Etaima is ranked 281,530^th in the world and 10,540^th in Osiris for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -11.03 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
