The Hegendstaat of Eraver is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Arnold Jackson with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 12.732 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 6,640 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 521,549 Supercoins, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

New homeowners go furniture hunting with crowbars, elections are won by the candidate who makes the best 'yo mama' jokes, most Eraverians would sell their own grandmother, and scenic tours are unheard of after most environmental laws were abolished. 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 106^th in the world and 6^th in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 30,234.59 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
