The Republic of Ether Eater is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.113 billion Ether Eaterians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The strong Ether Eaterian economy, worth 51.3 trillion gold coins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 46,135 gold coins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 297,348 per year while the poor average 2,892, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ether Eater's national animal is the sea turtle, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Ether Eater is ranked 226,206^th in the world and 2^nd in Dark Light Heaven for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
