The Hegendstaat of Eraver is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Arnold Jackson with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 12.696 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 6,526 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 514,037 Supercoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Prisoners fit in their parole hearings around their spa treatments, the law says it's okay to sell a bomb to a terrorist so long as they promise not to detonate it, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, and youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights. 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 34,850^th in the world and 664^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,784.35 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
