The One-Winged Etymology Shark of Erinor is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its daily referendums, digital currency, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.904 billion Erinorans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciria. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Erinoran economy, worth a remarkable 1,420 trillion Sicaras a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 143,471 Sicaras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Truck drivers turn their engines off and coast whenever they're going downhill, astronauts take one small step for Erinor and one giant step backward from confrontation, there's never a spare chair in the retirement home, and a popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Erinor's national animal is the Terror Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Revara.

Erinor is ranked 128,864^th in the world and 2,305^th in the South Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 138 billion Standard Monetary Units.
