Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Empire of Ergent is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 242 million Ergentians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.3%.

The thriving Ergentian economy, worth 18.3 trillion Tirponns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 75,438 Tirponns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 267,028 per year while the poor average 15,387, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, playing an online nation simulation game legally obliges you to buy the creator's latest novel, the nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically, and soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ergent's national animal is the Eagle.

Ergent is ranked 186,803^rd in the world and 184^th in KAISERREICH for Best Weather, with 95 Meters Of Sunlight.
