The TSP Delegate Emeritus of Erstavik is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Luke I with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 10.061 billion Erstavikians 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, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Burgsvik. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Erstavikian economy, worth a remarkable 2,094 trillion Erstavik Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 208,190 Erstavik Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People with dyslexia are told to tough through it, students abandon classrooms for online education, agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government, and the car industry has been kicked into one-gear. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Erstavik's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Erstavik is ranked 112,399^th in the world and 1,430^th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,961.43 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
