The Fallen Empire of The Erased is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.25 billion Erased 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Capital. The average income tax rate is 86.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Erased economy, worth a remarkable 1,224 trillion Zeros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 168,863 Zeros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government has an entire department dedicated to staring at microscopes and writing down letters, parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, and citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Erased's national animal is the NULL, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is NA.

The Erased is ranked 14,574^th in the world and 886^th in Balder for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,378.6 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
