The One-Winged Rainbow Shark of Erinor is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.93 billion Erinorans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciria. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Erinoran economy, worth a remarkable 1,547 trillion Sicaras a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 141,612 Sicaras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Astronauts take one small step for Erinor and one giant step backward from confrontation, there's never a spare chair in the retirement home, a popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street", and computers have been put in control of the economy to keep computers from controlling the economy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Erinor's national animal is the Terror Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Revara.

Erinor is ranked 118,721^st in the world and 3,918^th in the South Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,646.86 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
