The Ballotarchy of Eraver is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Paul Morales with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.405 billion Eraverians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frauport. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eraverian economy, worth 225 trillion Eraverian Soubles a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 160,170 Eraverian Soubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, the government is frequently held to ransom by the increasing demands of bloodthirsty pirates, and Eraverian-made cars tend to catch fire in people's driveways. Crime is totally unknown. Eraver's national animal is the Eraverian Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

Eraver is ranked 32,718^th in the world and 1,413^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 3,070.92 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
