The Democratic States of Eriaco is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Argus Dimicyon with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, aversion to nipples, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.083 billion Eriacoans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dimicyon CE. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Eriacoan economy, worth 98.0 trillion Tulas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,460 Tulas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dimicyon CE's iconic yellow taxis are nowhere to be seen, the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, priceless Maxtopian artwork can often be found in executive bathrooms, and older ladies are inundated with offers to help them cross the road. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eriaco's national animal is the Tabby Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Freedom.

Eriaco is ranked 55,518^th in the world and 1,188^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 135.09 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
