The Republic of Erodotus is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 6.519 billion Erodotusians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The strong Erodotusian economy, worth 304 trillion rubledollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is 46,676 rubledollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 300,837 per year while the poor average 2,926, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Erodotus's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Erodotus is ranked 78,321^st in the world and 1^st in The stewardship of wisanggeni for Smartest Citizens, with 38.85 quips per hour.
