The Growing Etherian Kingdom of Erikiam is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Shinzominzo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.391 billion Etherians 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heran Arandal. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Etheria economy, worth 374 trillion Veriamoes 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 black market in Book Publishing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. 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 impressive 110,514 Veriamoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity, hundreds of sailors ride the good ship Prime Minister Shinzominzo day after day, train stations can be 'armful places, and the government is reining in public spending. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Erikiam's national animal is the Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Therian.

Erikiam is ranked 54,743^rd in the world and 2^nd in Co Prosperity Sphere for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.95 law-abiding acts per hour.
