The Federation of ErZone is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Er with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The devout population of 1.352 billion Erzonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Administration, although Defense, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 44.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Erzonian economy, worth 33.2 trillion sterlings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 24,556 sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Warning signs caution Erzonians where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', racial and religious segregation has become rife as the various groups are loath to mingle, and an endless multinational bureaucracy connects the Red Bloc. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ErZone's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Zonerism.

ErZone is ranked 166,303^rd in the world and 368^th in Starlight for Highest Poor Incomes, with 22,741.18 Standard Monetary Units.
