The Commonwealth of Erosi is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Thessia Caddel with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.483 billion Erosians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riosa. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Erosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,604 trillion Chronocredits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 214,476 Chronocredits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Death row inmates cower in fear at the phrase "one-year anniversary", Riosa spends billions upgrading public transport, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and foreign nations kill migratory animals at random in the hope that Erosi will pay them to stop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Erosi's national animal is the Platypus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Heathenry.

Erosi is ranked 3,588^th in the world and 180^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 125 law-abiding acts per hour.
