The Empire of Error-202 is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its frequent executions and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.935 billion Error-202ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The very strong Error-202ian economy, worth 133 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 68,931 Euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 222,134 per year while the poor average 16,186, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, military spending recently hit a new high, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and entire families swing in the wind at the national gallows. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Error-202's national animal is the Parrot.

Error-202 is ranked 112,780th in the world and 9th in Imperial Morthos for Most Developed, scoring 59.02 on the Human Development Index.
