The Third Empire of Eritria is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Panagiotis Palaiologos with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 8.139 billion Eritrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neae Athenae. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Eritrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,936 trillion Drachmaes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 237,963 Drachmaes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, people invite random old men into their homes to play with their kids, the 'sing-a-long with Prime Minister Panagiotis Palaiologos' album is a popular souvenir, and exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eritria's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christian Orthodoxy.

Eritria is ranked 5,100^th in the world and 157^th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 45.67 average smiles per day.
