Etrien

## Overview

**The country of Etrien. Built upon the rare soils, cunning and virtues of its past, this country is now among the most blessed countries in its corner of the world.Their public safety, income and fuel efficiency are among its current greatest strengths. Unfortunately they lack a little in infrastructure and export.**

**Etrien is a capitalist country. There are a lot of opposing groups against the current leadership and this may not last much longer.However, the current greatest threat to the nation is aggressive wildlife, but the current leadership is working with the public to solve this issue.**

**The people of Etrien are gratified. They live great lives and while infrastructure might be lacking, their public safety helps relief most of their issues.Religion holds quite some importance in their lives and, if anything, has made them more reserved.
