The Democratic States of Erynia and Draconia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Daniels with a fair hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.699 billion Eryconians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, outspoken morass — prioritizes Education, with Environment, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eryn City. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Erynia and Draconian economy, worth 147 trillion Eryconian Dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,532 Eryconian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, occupational wage levels are based on a crumpled napkin authored by a legendary Eryn City bus driver, and cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Erynia and Draconia's national animal is the Tree Swallow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Erynia and Draconia is ranked 191,345^th in the world and 63^rd in The Social Liberal Union for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.61 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
