The Dominion of Ercil is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Chief Minister Urien Houtman with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 17.964 billion Ercilians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zhia-Cia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 89.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ercilian economy, worth a remarkable 2,382 trillion Ingies a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 132,616 Ingies, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Tabloids publicly shun nurses for not calling home on the weekends, armed police are cracking down on untaxed collectable-card-trading in local junior schools, being Chief Minister Urien Houtman has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, and falling satellites are regarded as a blessing from the gods. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ercil's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ercil is ranked 78,498th in the world and 2nd in The New Kingdom for Most Stationary, with 617.1318619798 days.
