The Endless Empire of Ermarian is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Empress Prazac XII with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 26.362 billion Ermarianese have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dawn. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The all-consuming Ermarianese economy, worth a remarkable 3,941 trillion imperials a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 149,516 imperials, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A new generation of aquariumless hotels are being built under government supervision, the newspaper industry is subsidised by the government in order to keep it afloat, the government has legalised small-scale capitalism, and government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read. Crime is totally unknown. Ermarian's national animal is the pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is abolished.

Ermarian is ranked 177,608^th in the world and 10,084^th in The North Pacific for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring -19.6 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
