The Wastelandic Keizerrijk of The Error Union is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Sovereign Director Edward Arkham with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.147 billion Orangists 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Japsterdam. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Orange economy, worth a remarkable 1,756 trillion Orange Guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 192,002 Orange Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, and Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Error Union's national animal is the Keizerlijk Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Error Union is ranked 218,002nd in the world and 187th in Fifth Empire for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 245.04 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
