The Kingdom of Ernestria is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by The Rt Hon Osvát Keszthelyi with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The quiet, industrious population of 14.823 billion Ernestrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bodendorf. The average income tax rate is 44.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ernestrian economy, worth 795 trillion Konvertible Marks 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 Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 53,656 Konvertible Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits, going on a diet invalidates your passport, builders across Ernestria are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and calls to prayer are the newest dog whistles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ernestria's national animal is the talbot hound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ernestria is ranked 99,440^th in the world and 30^th in Western Atlantic for Most Devout, with 634.49 prayers per hour.
