The Wastelandic Keizerrijk of The Error Union is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Sovereign Director Edward Arkham with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, avowedly heterosexual populace, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.147 billion Orangists are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Japsterdam. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Orange economy, worth a remarkable 1,756 trillion Orange Guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 192,042 Orange Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government popup ads are springing up like weeds, employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired, schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, and internet moderators work overtime to remove memes comparing Sovereign Director Edward Arkham to cartoon bears. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Error Union's national animal is the Keizerlijk Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Error Union is ranked 219,162nd in the world and 186th in Fifth Empire for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 244.99 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
