The Confederacy of Sector Eridanus is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 50 million Sector Eridanusians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, liberal government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 8.1%.

The Sector Eridanusian economy, worth 2.51 trillion Maccas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Average income is 50,148 Maccas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, and movement-triggered sensors mean that for every door that closes another one opens. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Sector Eridanus's national animal is the Jack Frost, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sector Eridanus is ranked 228,022^nd in the world and 4,658^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
