The TSP Delegate Emeritus of Erstavik is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Luke I with an even hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, strictly enforced bedtime, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 10.037 billion Erstavikians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Burgsvik. The average income tax rate is 82.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Erstavikian economy, worth a remarkable 2,090 trillion Erstavik Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 208,278 Erstavik Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Entomologists flock to Burgsvik for its remarkable gadfly population, treaties are taken to be mere rules of thumb, AI models unanimously choose all government facts, and the government is raising the stakes on mental health to beat the odds of addiction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Erstavik's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Erstavik is ranked 10,066^th in the world and 146^th in the South Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 208,278.85 Standard Monetary Units.
