The Armed Republic of Etaima is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its national health service, ban on automobiles, and hatred of cheese. The cynical, devout population of 2.279 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 52.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Etaiman economy, worth 149 trillion Ginas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,711 Ginas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Etaima, the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita, calling Leader a tyrant is seen as the ultimate compliment, and Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping. 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 41,773^rd in the world and 2,386^th in Osiris for Highest Food Quality, scoring 38.93 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
