The Democratic States of Eriaco is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Argus Dimicyon with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.059 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 Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dimicyon CE. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Eriacoan economy, worth 96.1 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 90,761 Tulas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, flipping a coin to make a decision leads to a referral to Gambling Addiction Services, third world countries are rich in "I Love Dimicyon CE" t-shirts, and the Eriaco Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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, and its national religion is Freedom.

Eriaco is ranked 284,298^th in the world and 5,207^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.39 flags saluted per person per day.
