The Federation of Eratsky is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning Black Eagle population. The compassionate population of 32 million Eratskyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 25.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Eratskyian economy, worth 1.25 trillion SKS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,190 SKS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Home renovation shows are increasingly popular, the bum of Leader has been voted the most recognisable in Eratsky, politicians put their fingers in their ears and sing "la la la la" when walking past lobbyists, and the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth. Crime is totally unknown. Eratsky's national animal is the Black Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eratsky is ranked 267,476^th in the world and 4^th in The Orion Islands for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 647.19 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
