The Wastelandic Keizerrijk of The Error Union is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Sovereign Director Edward Arkham with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.337 billion Orangists are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Japsterdam. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Orange economy, worth a remarkable 1,821 trillion Orange Guilders 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 195,126 Orange Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Photographs that show ladies' ankles are considered risqué, midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency, conscientious objectors are hanged as traitors, and failure to pay the thrice-daily homage to the divine Sovereign Director Edward Arkham is punishable by death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Error Union's national animal is the Keizerlijk Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Error Union is ranked 5,359^th in the world and 22^nd in Fifth Empire for Highest Poor Incomes, with 162,228.15 Standard Monetary Units.
