The Hegendstaat of Eraver is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Xerxes of Barentham with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, ritual sacrifices, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 17.341 billion Eraverians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fordmort. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Eraverian economy, worth a remarkable 9,376 trillion Supercoins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 540,713 Supercoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

A historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation, endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, doctors will keep brain-dead coma patients ventilated for years in order to avoid accusations of allowing people to die, and modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eraver's national animal is the Springbok, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Eraver is ranked 489^th in the world and 32^nd in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 99.15 on the Human Development Index.
