The Federation of ERRIBURG is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Paris Karabatzakis with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 11.973 billion ERRIBURGians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glassin. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient ERRIBURGian economy, worth a remarkable 9,607 trillion EKRS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 802,405 EKRS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, real chickens replace rooster weather vanes on inner-city rooftop gardens, and the nation excels at displacement. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. ERRIBURG's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

ERRIBURG is ranked 6,393^rd in the world and 331^st in Balder for Healthiest Citizens, with 18.68 bananas ingested per day.
