Nationstates | Erthinia [ Facts in the description ]

The Republic of Erthina is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its aversion to nipples, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 14 million Erthinans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.2%.

The Erthinan economy, worth 759 billion dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 54,272 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.5 times as much as the poorest.

Nursing mothers are often arrested for indecent exposure, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, and every week is blindness awareness week. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Erthina's national animal is the Mole, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Erthina is ranked 120,652nd in the world and 1st in Erthinian Pact for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -2.83 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
