The Disputed Territories of Eristicea is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Eris with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, ubiquitous missile silos, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 26.568 billion Eristiceans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Industry, International Aid, and Defense. Income tax is unheard of.

The very strong Eristicean economy, worth a remarkable 2,684 trillion eristicean dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 101,037 eristicean dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 354,516 per year while the poor average 20,888, a ratio of 17.0 to 1.

Pet owners want to know why their animals keep smiling at them, concussed jackalball players cannot remember their lineup position, bars are packed at all hours, and kids' party bags often contain candy and e-cigarettes. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Eristicea's national animal is the jackal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Eristicea is ranked 63,474^th in the world and 28^th in Esportiva for Highest Average Incomes, with 101,037.95 Standard Monetary Units.
