The Crown Republic of Erycina is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Mrs Dawson with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 10.641 billion Erycinans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westhold. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Erycinan economy, worth a remarkable 1,977 trillion Ercoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 185,854 Ercoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, many mayors are barely in office before being kicked out for minor parking violations, doctors ask for written consent before making eye contact with patients, and racial supremacists indulge their wildest fantasies in cinemas and theatres across the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Erycina's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Erycina is ranked 19,046th in the world and 13th in The Union of Democratic States for Most Stationary, with 1,651.3034917762 days.
