The First Empire of Ersistan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Izabella Cyan with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 4.217 billion Ersistanis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strantin. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ersistani economy, worth 741 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 175,932 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation doesn't need to go to war in order to acquire new territory, the only movement outdoors is of ramen-delivery drones, practising saying 'how now brown cow' is an essential part of holiday planning, and weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ersistan's national animal is the Golden Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ersistan is ranked 101,369^th in the world and 10^th in Federation of Bread for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 222.85 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
