The Commonwealth of Erinaesia is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, strictly enforced bedtime, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 871 million Erinaesians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 13.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Erinaesian economy, worth 74.5 trillion sterlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 85,483 sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Soldiers must key in their passwords every time they want to reload their weapons, proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers, burgers often list "miscellaneous meats" in their ingredients, and government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Erinaesia's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Erinaesia is ranked 212,026^th in the world and 46^th in Sparkalia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 269.18 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
