The Federation of Erclusia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Ezio Enzi with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 11.276 billion Erclusians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sachesia. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Erclusian economy, worth a remarkable 4,346 trillion arcoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 385,439 arcoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Ezio Enzi's bedroom, the government denies any involvement in the release of the Hot Load computer virus, there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, and old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Erclusia's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Erclusia is ranked 234,276th in the world and 10,251st in Lazarus for Most Authoritarian, with 439.77 milliStalins.
