The Federal Republic of Eralan is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 208 million Eralanics hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 32.1%.

The powerhouse Eralanic economy, worth 17.9 trillion Erelanic Rävs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 85,883 Erelanic Rävs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

People stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, psychiatrists that date patients are congratulated on their romantic conquests, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, and the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Eralan's national animal is the Fox.

Eralan is ranked 249,019^th in the world and 5,015^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -149.48 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
