The Hegendstaat of Eraver is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Samuel Van Fordenhoecken with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, otherworldly petting zoo, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 16.989 billion Eraverians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fordmort. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Eraverian economy, worth a remarkable 9,346 trillion Supercoins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 550,176 Supercoins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,200,590 per year while the poor average 44,707, a ratio of 71.6 to 1.

Gang members supplement their income by teaching at elementary schools, the mouth-frothing Eraverian can be confused for a rabid Springbok, volunteers are signing up to take arms against an incursion of flesh-eating zombies (Eraver has found 5 easter eggs), and the drive to dismantle public transport has crashed and burned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eraver's national animal is the Springbok, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Eraver is ranked 306,087^th in the world and 4,486^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -1251.18 on the Hayek Index.
