The Failed States of Ervarëa not of ErVaReAn rEpUbLiC is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Tel'rial Meradon with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, ubiquitous missile silos, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 23.837 billion Ervarëans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Defense and Education are also considered important, while Law & Order and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belduryn. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Ervarëan economy, worth an astonishing 14,741 trillion ablis a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is a breathtaking 618,443 ablis, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,448,803 per year while the poor average 27,691, a ratio of 160 to 1.

Laws are littered with references to cheese, heated town halls quickly descend into shootouts between politicians and their constituents, in its new More is More campaign the government advertises obese men and women posing coquettishly with baked goods to spare their blushes, and political spontaneity takes a lot of planning. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. ErVaReAn rEpUbLiC's national animal is the Sequoiadendron giganteum, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

ErVaReAn rEpUbLiC is ranked 341,059th in the world and 13th in Meihua for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1 law-abiding acts per hour.
