The Eerie-in-Winter Seaside Town of Eerie-on-Sea is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, devout population of 720 million Eerie have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Public Transport isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Grand Nautilus Hotel. The average income tax rate is 17.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Eerie economy, worth 33.3 trillion Pounds 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. 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 46,251 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, the horniness of the great-horned Malamander is considered a national priority, pranking is an art form, and many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Eerie-on-Sea's national animal is the Malamander, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eerie-on-Sea is ranked 150,496^th in the world and 39^th in The Bar on the corner of every region for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,277.92 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
