The Republic of Erloane is a massive, safe nation, ruled by James Mercurius with a fair hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, infamous sell-swords, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.4 billion Erloaneans 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 Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Armonia. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Erloanean economy, worth 246 trillion Eurodollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,869 Eurodollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jennifer Government is a bestseller, foreign leaders are advising that James Mercurius's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, and newspapers are running a front-page picture of James Mercurius holding a crowbar and standing over a bloodied stockbroker. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Erloane's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Erloane is ranked 223,725^th in the world and 9^th in The Arctic for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.62 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
