The Republic of Erkit is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning hawk population. The hard-working population of 5.446 billion Erkitians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.1%.

The strong Erkitian economy, worth 279 trillion rubledollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Tourism. Average income is 51,388 rubledollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Erkit's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Erkit is ranked 183,110^th in the world and 6,752^nd in Suspicious for Most Corrupt Governments, with 2.55 kickbacks per hour.
