The Mockracy of Erroneous Errol Island is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.39 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Commerce, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports industries.

The dead are minced up and sold to people in burger form, the ban on cars has been repealed, breastfeeding mothers are replacing smokers to loiter outside the workplace, and pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Erroneous Errol Island's national animal is the HeepO-POT-a-moose, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the ooblygoobly.
