The Federate State of East Eria is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.752 billion Erians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ekaia. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient East Erian economy, worth a remarkable 1,195 trillion Bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 207,791 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

International tensions are high as East Eria threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors, new arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark, and modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Eria's national animal is the Bird-of-paradise, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

East Eria is ranked 11,180^th in the world and 353^rd in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,461.95 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
