The Confusing Pegasus-Run Nation of Erferndern is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Myza Red with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.642 billion Erferndernns hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Root. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Erferndernn economy, worth a remarkable 1,402 trillion bits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,905 bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, the newest shade developed by Erferndern's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange', small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, and space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space. Crime is totally unknown. Erferndern's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Erferndern is ranked 5,541^st in the world and 1^st in The Grand Oof for Nicest Citizens, with 43.79 average smiles per day.
