The Endless Empire of Ermarian is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Prazac XII with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and public floggings. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 39.602 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 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 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ermarianese economy, worth a remarkable 6,072 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 153,333 imperials, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'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, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, and many friends and relatives of Empress Prazac XII have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations. 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 298,363^rd in the world and 8,509^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -341.47 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
