The Democratic Social Republic of Eieryn is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Morandin Rynityan with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.493 billion Rynen hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tryteik. The average income tax rate is 92.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Rynian economy, worth 430 trillion Menyrs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 172,379 Menyrs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The musical cognoscenti insist the national anthem just isn't the same without a double contrabass flute, future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, and misbehaving meerkats deemed dangerous to the public are shot and hanged by the town hall as a warning to others. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eieryn's national animal is the meerkat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

Eieryn is ranked 8,075^th in the world and 12^th in Aesica for Longest Average Lifespans, with 91.98 years.
