The Hegendstaat of Eraver is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Arnold Jackson with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 12.762 billion Eraverians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt 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 6,629 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 519,506 Supercoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Eraver" at foreigners, marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams, political candidates who don't release their birth certificates are presumed to have been born in Maxtopia, and the nation's smallest Springbokball teams trade draft picks for a free lunch. 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 frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Eraver is ranked 677^th in the world and 28^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 86.51 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
