The Empire of Etherton is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Marisol Vega with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 5.751 billion Ethertonians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vista Heights. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ethertonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,242 trillion Ethertonian dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 216,081 Ethertonian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, Marisol Vega reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, sometimes a whole prison wing will house a single prisoner, and the ban on cars has been repealed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Etherton's national animal is the Bighorn sheep, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Etherton is ranked 128,079th in the world and 4th in The Three Isles for Most Stationary, with 261.10936066768 days.
