The Hegendstaat of Eraver is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Xerxes of Barentham with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 17.357 billion Eraverians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fordmort. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Eraverian economy, worth a remarkable 9,298 trillion Supercoins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 535,720 Supercoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Landfills fill the land, former strategic allies are threatening annihilation to Eraver for reneging on weapons supply contracts, teenagers stay out into the wee hours of the morning "stargazing", and the nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Xerxes of Barentham in ermine and velvet garb. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eraver's national animal is the Springbok, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Eraver is ranked 307,521^st in the world and 4,539^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -28.71 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
