The Democratic Republic of New Ericoland is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 1.322 billion NOBODIES are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 38.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The New Ericolandian economy, worth 49.0 trillion Breads a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 37,077 Breads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Children of nonreligious parents are often barred from school festival events, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, New Ericolandian companies generally just fire employees in lieu of giving them vacation, and Leader has just been declared ruler of New Ericoland in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Ericoland's national animal is the Dark Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Ericoland is ranked 239,225^th in the world and 4^th in Snowdin for Largest Black Market, with 237 billion Standard Monetary Units.
