The State of Eridani Empire is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 28.635 billion Eridani Empireans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 76.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but stagnant Eridani Empirean economy, worth 305 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, extremely specialized black market in Cheese Exports and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 10,672 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government is avowedly atheist, the tenet of free speech is held dear, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, and Eridani Empire has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eridani Empire's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Eridani Empire is ranked 135,633rd in the world and 613th in United States of America for Most Stationary, with 233.91552390508 days.
