The Ersialistlik Organisatsioon of Perno Comitee is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Jan Von Schpukenragen with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, national health service, and frequent executions. The compassionate population of 2.363 billion Ersialists are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,061 Credit Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Perno Comitee's national animal is the ESP Spy Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Ersialism.
