The Hegendstaat of Eraver is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Xerxes of Barentham with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 17.482 billion Eraverians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fordmort. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Eraverian economy, worth a remarkable 9,390 trillion Supercoins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 537,125 Supercoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, Fordmort's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, and uprooting flowers for religious ceremonies is a felony. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eraver's national animal is the Springbok, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Eraver is ranked 331,890^th in the world and 4,752^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -28.75 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
