The Third Empire of Eritria is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Panagiotis Palaiologos with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 7.673 billion Eritrians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neae Athenae. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Eritrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,699 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 Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 221,483 Drachmaes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, the new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, and businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections. 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 Eastern Orthodoxy.

Eritria is ranked 56,812^th in the world and 496^th in the South Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 41.46 kickbacks per hour.
