The Democratic Republic of Erskentania is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Alessandra Fekanzki with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.244 billion Erskentanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pakern. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Erskentanian economy, worth 161 trillion Zizets a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,849 Zizets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tumbleweed drifts through the nation's shopping centres during the weekends, there's a bright dawn ahead for Erskentania, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, and straitjackets are a common religious garb. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Erskentania's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Peacetheism.

Erskentania is ranked 201,188th in the world and 5,164th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 46.20758848268 days.
