The Republic of Eraver is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Thomas Beauregard Whitman with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, otherworldly petting zoo, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.761 billion Eraverians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adachester. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eraverian economy, worth 319 trillion Supercoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 181,406 Supercoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

There's never a spare chair in the retirement home, streaming video is considered to be a myth by most citizens, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, and boys who take just one date to the high school prom are called 'losers'. Crime is totally unknown. Eraver's national animal is the Chicken, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Eraver is ranked 11,627^th in the world and 648^th in The North Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 81.92 Quips Per Hour.
