The Empire of Earikanea is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Endretorixen with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, unlimited-speed roads, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 17.047 billion Earikaneans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alederanealis. The average income tax rate is 64.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Earikanean economy, worth a remarkable 2,561 trillion Aquilas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 150,277 Aquilas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The economy is green and the air is black, the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government, and wandering Earikaneans are known for their one-track minds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Earikanea's national animal is the Griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Earikanea is ranked 11,573^rd in the world and 466^th in The North Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 61.36 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
