The Errorish Pumpkin Spice of The Error Union is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The General with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, parental licensing program, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed population of 4.06 billion Errors are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Error City. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Errorish economy, worth 544 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 134,081 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is famous for bravely sending wave after wave of its soldiers until the enemy runs out of bullets, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, tabloids coo over The General's expected child, and government-funded marriage counseling is showing very limited success. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Error Union's national animal is the Moose, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Errorism.

The Error Union is ranked 19,136th in the world and 3rd in Fullworthia for Highest Food Quality, scoring 119.84 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
