The Federal Republic of Eralan is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 284 million Eralanics hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 36.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Eralanic economy, worth 23.2 trillion Erelanic Rävs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 81,835 Erelanic Rävs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

People stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, psychiatrists that date patients are congratulated on their romantic conquests, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, and the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Eralan's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eralan is ranked 58,469^th in the world and 1,800^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 99.55 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
