The Allied States of Eravon is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Administrator with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.411 billion Eravonians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Impenetrable. The average income tax rate is 26.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Eravonian economy, worth 800 trillion Edons a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 70,179 Edons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals, every new toxic waste dump comes with a seal of approval from the government's science advisor, employees are told they can avoid traffic jams by starting work at 4 AM, and The Administrator is strangely popular with male politicians' wives. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Eravon's national animal is the Lev, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Faith.

Eravon is ranked 171,772^nd in the world and 141^st in Karma for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 25.98 Effective Tax Rate.
