The Entropic Paradise of Erisian Delight is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Saint Norton the Dead with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.818 billion are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, concentrates mainly on Education, although Healthcare and Social Equality are on the agenda. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Gambling and Soda Sales.

It is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, and the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines. Crime is totally unknown. Erisian Delight's national animal is the platypus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Discordianism, and its currency is the Chao.

Erisian Delight is ranked 2nd in Discordia and 2,904th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
