The Community of Eragos is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 229 million Eragosians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 80.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Eragosian economy, worth 7.08 trillion Ergos a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 30,928 Ergos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, and Leader tells rebellious ministers to "drop and give me twenty". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eragos's national animal is the Quokka, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eragos is ranked 170,806th in the world and 57th in Socialists for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 131.69 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
