The Empire of Error 1033 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.82 billion Error 1033ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.2%.

The powerhouse Error 1033ian economy, worth 279 trillion Duckcoins 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 73,169 Duckcoins, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

National park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, the upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, and there's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Error 1033's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Error 1033 is ranked 260,002nd in the world and 1,046th in Artificial Solar System for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 39.43 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
