The Empire of Eric Andre is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.595 billion Eric Andreans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 57.2%.

The Eric Andrean economy, worth 242 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 43,320 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eric Andre's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eric Andre is ranked 218,113^th in the world and 6^th in Sandshrew for Nicest Citizens, with 10.55 average smiles per day.
