The Sovereign Dominion of Eridal is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Xylos Eshka Ka'ra with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, state-planned economy, and smutty television. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.199 billion Eridans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kar Ahn. The average income tax rate is 85.2%.

The Eridanian economy, worth 79.4 trillion Ruuns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 66,188 Ruuns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, friendly revolutionaries are the nation's greatest export, children are raised bilingual from an early age, and military chaplains grow frustrated with their long commutes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eridal's national animal is the Onyx-ringed Serpent, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is K'thara.

Eridal is ranked 110,215^th in the world and 5,754^th in Balder for Highest Average Incomes, with 66,188.52 Standard Monetary Units.
