The Hegendstaat of Eraver is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Arnold Jackson with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and national health service. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 12.627 billion Eraverians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fordmort. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Eraverian economy, worth a remarkable 6,397 trillion Supercoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 506,653 Supercoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has been criticized for giving away Eraver's territory to anyone who claims it, wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities, digital novelty coins make for surprising vanguards of the revolution, and atheism is seen as a prerequisite for political power. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eraver's national animal is the Springbok, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Eraver is ranked 2,321^st in the world and 108^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 139.38 law-abiding acts per hour.
