The Sacred Chao of Eris Discordia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Norton with a fair hand, and notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 9.668 billion Discordians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Friendly Hills Lanes. The average income tax rate is 35.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Chaotic economy, worth a remarkable 1,018 trillion golden apples a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 105,371 golden apples, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, the price of freedom is about half a million golden apples, Chaotic politics is literally a blood sport, and public toilets are famed for their rear entries. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Eris Discordia's national animal is the golden worm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Discordianism.

Eris Discordia is ranked 292,688^th in the world and 11,163^rd in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 5.14 law-abiding acts per hour.
