The Republic of Ertno is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Aline Schimidt with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, strictly enforced bedtime, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.596 billion Ertnoans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, with Defense, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antla. The average income tax rate is 34.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ertnoan economy, worth 808 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 224,711 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Children are regularly married to each other to secure alliances between families, online terrorists are automatically assigned adverts for cheap balaclavas, breast milk is being redistributed from each according to their ability to each according to their need, and coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ertno's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Order of the Red Falcon.

Ertno is ranked 2,947^th in the world and 4^th in Portugal for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,342.87 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
