The People's Republic of Eriztakia is a mid-sized, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 56 million Eriztaks are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 56.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Eriztak economy, worth 1.18 trillion Drumas 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 21,102 Drumas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, feeling like a winner comes at a price, the government single-handedly sustains the bunk bed market, and children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eriztakia's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eriztakia is ranked 294,485^th in the world and 1,323^rd in Europeia for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -10.05 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
