The Federal Republic of Erisoria is a huge, safe nation, notable for its public floggings, sprawling nuclear power plants, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 350 million Erisorians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaleendamen. The average income tax rate is 33.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Erisorian economy, worth 38.6 trillion Erisorian simhins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 110,155 Erisorian simhins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, and referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Erisoria's national animal is the seagull, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Erisoria is ranked 140,389^th in the world and 5,923^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 234.46 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
