The Fallen Empire of The Erased is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. 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 86.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Erased economy, worth a remarkable 1,221 trillion Zeros a year, is fairly 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 168,471 Zeros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

School children are expected to know the names of all seven hundred native tribes and their cultural practices, parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling, The Erased's army is full of two-metre tall super-soldiers, and the new hit series "The Erased's Got Trauma" has corporate executives fleeing the country. 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 14,218^th in the world and 857^th in Balder for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,492.6 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
