The Republic of Erma is a massive, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning sheep population. The hard-working population of 2.39 billion Ermen have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 14.3%.
The Erman economy, worth 116 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 48,786 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Erma's national animal is the sheep, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Erma is ranked 187,305th in the world and 2,737th in the Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 7.09 flags saluted per person per day.
