The Republic of Eriados is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.373 billion Eriadosians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 22.6%.

The Eriadosian economy, worth 288 trillion rubledollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 53,627 rubledollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eriados's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Eriados is ranked 186,085^th in the world and 4,587^th in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 334.04 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
