Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The People's Republic of Erinyes Falls is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Orestes Smith with a fair hand, and notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 1.48 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eumenides. The average income tax rate is 70%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Erinyes Falls's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Eumenides Times is sold out. Crime is totally unknown. Erinyes Falls's national animal is the kiwi, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the shiv.

Erinyes Falls is ranked 589th in 10000 Islands and 15,333rd in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 50 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
