The Holy Golden Allied States of Eritasia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Councilman Northrop with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.288 billion Eritaes are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alloway. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eritaian economy, worth 889 trillion gold bars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,828 gold bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, surfing lessons include how to ward off sharks, and the carbon tax fund gladly supplies warm blankets when the poor can't pay their heating bills. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eritasia's national animal is the monster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eritasia is ranked 280,578^th in the world and 6,923^rd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.05 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
