The Republic of Erloane is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Johnathan Tallpas with an even hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.511 billion Erloaneans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Defense, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Armonia. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Erloanean economy, worth a remarkable 1,088 trillion Erloanean Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,523 Erloanean Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Newspapers are running a front-page picture of Johnathan Tallpas holding a crowbar and standing over a bloodied stockbroker, the installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, Erloane has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, and older ladies are inundated with offers to help them cross the road. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Erloane's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Erloane is ranked 55,718^th in the world and 4^th in The Arctic for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,991.49 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
