The Republic of Et tu Arachne is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 910 million Et tu Arachneans 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 tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The thriving Et tu Arachnean economy, worth 58.6 trillion flies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 64,445 flies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 228,117 per year while the poor average 13,145, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Et tu Arachne's national animal is the fly.

Et tu Arachne is ranked 215,040^th in the world and 1^st in The Ides for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
