The Smooth Rhythms of Erinkita is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The Eternal Empress with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 3.317 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kittenvale. The average income tax rate is 73%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, Erinkita is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime is totally unknown. Erinkita's national animal is the kitty, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Friendship, and its currency is the hug.

Erinkita is ranked 70th in Ankh Mauta and 119,541st in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -4 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
