The Wastelandic Keizerrijk of The Error Union is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Sovereign Director Edward Arkham with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.248 billion Orangists 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Japsterdam. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Orange economy, worth a remarkable 1,782 trillion Orange Guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 192,796 Orange Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", the path to inner peace is paved with state-mandated punishment, male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed, and modern warfare's call of duty isn't popular with gamers these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Error Union's national animal is the Keizerlijk Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Error Union is ranked 5,252nd in the world and 26th in Fifth Empire for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 95.36 Effective Tax Rate.
