The Democratic States of Eriaco is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Argus Dimicyon with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, aversion to nipples, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.001 billion Eriacoans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dimicyon DE. The average income tax rate is 66.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Eriacoan economy, worth 92.2 trillion Tulas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,110 Tulas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There are no more heroes any more, footballers are doing aerobics in the sauna to build their hot weather endurance, lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eriaco's national animal is the Tabby Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eriaco is ranked 21,337^th in the world and 566^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 989.38 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
