The United States of Erwo Stal is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Perseus with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 13.966 billion Erwo Stalians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlanta. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Erwo Stalian economy, worth a remarkable 3,039 trillion Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 217,617 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, all the playground's a stage for Erwo Stalian schoolchildren, and surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Erwo Stal's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Eagleism.

Erwo Stal is ranked 290,099^th in the world and 6,306^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -24.78 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
