The New Cruor Federation of Eruscus is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Avakael with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 25.227 billion Eruscuites 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 large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seilskein. The average income tax rate is 51.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Eruscusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,756 trillion Halicarnassuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Trout Farming. Average income is 69,631 Halicarnassuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, the Man in the Plastic Mask has been imprisoned in the Capital Penitentiary, and elections have recently been reintroduced to Eruscus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eruscus's national animal is the White Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cruor.

Eruscus is ranked 82,891^st in the world and 476^th in Ordo Imperialia for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,229.97 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
