The Third Empire of Eritria is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Panagiotis Palaiologos with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 8.185 billion Eritrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neae Athenae. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Eritrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,967 trillion Drachmaes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 240,355 Drachmaes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Eritria, people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, government leaders testify at international tribunals on why the sun went out, and school lockers are filled with fancy underwear. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eritria's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Eritria is ranked 318,564^th in the world and 4,024^th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.29 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
