The Kingdom of Eremocyma is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Cornelius with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.196 billion Eremocymans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cephalopolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Eremocyman economy, worth 185 trillion grammas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 155,010 grammas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,134,597 per year while the poor average 6,529, a ratio of 173 to 1.

Beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, the government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption, bands of paramedics walk the streets looking for suspicious medical activity, and books are considered luxuries only available to the incredibly wealthy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eremocyma's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Eremocyma is ranked 6,388th in the world and 204th in the West Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 8,905 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
