The Hegendstaat of Eraver is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Arnold Jackson with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 12.709 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 6,586 trillion Supercoins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 518,281 Supercoins, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Retirement homes are filled with foreign war criminals, drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, and wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby. 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 100,027^th in the world and 2,214^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,373.94 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
