The People's Republic of Eryops is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 4.783 billion Eryopsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 26.3%.

The Eryopsian economy, worth 221 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,303 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, the government invades its allies more than its enemies, a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, and a handful of megacorporations own every "craft brewery" in the nation. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eryops's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Eryops is ranked 127,535^th in the world and 1^st in Wichita for Safest, scoring 72.03 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
