The Endless Empire of Ermarian is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Empress Prazac XII with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 38.822 billion Ermarianese love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dawn. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ermarianese economy, worth a remarkable 5,906 trillion imperials a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,140 imperials, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Ermarian, 'Totally Not Partisan News' is a line item on the government budget, criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, and the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb. 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 301,961^st in the world and 11,939^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 3.15 Obesity Rate.
