“Sometimes there are... Many”

The Holy Empire of Eruestan the Many is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 703 million hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 37%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Information Technology.

Voting is voluntary, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, military spending is on the increase, and education and welfare spending are on the rise. Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Eruestan the Many's national animal is the oliphaunt, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the gold coin.

Eruestan the Many is ranked 2102nd in the region and 31,281st in the world for Best Weather.
