The Dictatorship of Erinys is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Erin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.011 billion Erinysians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Synire. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Erinysian economy, worth 555 trillion Drachmas a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 184,327 Drachmas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 640,044 per year while the poor average 38,720, a ratio of 16.5 to 1.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, children cry as government officials steal their water pistols, police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, and the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Erinys's national animal is the Cerberus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Erinian.

Erinys is ranked 10,543rd in the world and 622nd in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 100.08 law-abiding acts per hour.
