The Kingdom of Eruzea is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 251 million Eruzeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.1%.

The very strong Eruzean economy, worth 18.3 trillion Eruzan Crowns a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 72,893 Eruzan Crowns, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Parking lots are littered with coffee cups and doughnut crumbs, the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, robotic spouses prove to be just as imperfect as flesh and blood ones, and scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied snow fox. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eruzea's national animal is the snow fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eruzea is ranked 179,786^th in the world and 3,223^rd in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 40.86 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
