The Hegendstaat of Eraver is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Xerxes of Barentham with an even hand, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, conspicuous electricity pylons, and smutty television. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 17.421 billion Eraverians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fordmort. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Eraverian economy, worth a remarkable 9,532 trillion Supercoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 547,181 Supercoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government takes agricultural advice from a wasp-themed superhero, transgender and agender are on the education agenda, the stacked neck-ring is this season's hottest fashion item, and the national arsenal is full of sound and fury signifying nothing. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eraver's national animal is the Springbok, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Eraver is ranked 331,691^st in the world and 4,731^st in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -29.34 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
