Erytheria (Erytherian: Ερυθήρια), officially the Principality of Erytheria, is a medium-sized country located on the Erytherian archipelago, a group of islands located off the southern tip of Cardia. The largest of these is the island of Symi, on which approximately 45% of the nation's 13 million residents live and where the nation's capital, Mageiros, is located.
Erytheria is a parliamentary elective monarchy in which the country is headed by a Prince elected for life by an electoral college, yet the country is largely governed by the Ecclesia, a democratically elected legislature and the Prytaneis, the nation's cabinet which is chaired by the Epistates, who takes on a role similar to that of a Prime Minister in many other parliamentary democracies. Currently the monarch is Princess Katerina I of the House of Kritikou, while the Epistates is currently Andreios Argyris of the {{|wpl|centre-right}} Social Rally.
The nation possesses a developed, mixed-market high income economy with heavy government involvement in key sectors and high unionisation. The nation traditionally specialises in sectors such as mining, consumer electronics, agriculture and shipbuilding, yet it has transitioned to a more service-based economy in recent years. It maintains a "very high" Human Development Index, with high standards of education and healthcare. However, the nation has seen criticism for the disproportionate influence that social groups such as the nobility and the clergy play in its governmental institutions, and is often seen as being a flawed democracy as a result.
