The Enzonarian Vanguard of Eraben is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by No one nose with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 5.166 billion Erabenians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dantla. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Erabenian economy, worth 940 trillion Rhancs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 182,028 Rhancs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Long-wed spouses often regret proposals they made when they were twenty, nobody expected the fruit inquisition, citizens know never to accept cookies from strangers, and Erabenian farm salmon are known for being both horribly diseased and remarkably acrobatic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eraben's national animal is the wolverine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sniffianity.

Eraben is ranked 15,120th in the world and 8th in Aspen for Most Authoritarian, with 3,627.53 milliStalins.
