The Republic of Eelresnuml is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.558 billion Eelresnumlians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eelresnumlian economy, worth 830 trillion Yen a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,649 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Street preachers sell salvation with a side order of shame on every corner, single celebrities have to repeatedly prove their chastity to avoid being married off to infatuated fans, the police insist that racism does not exist, and popular political cartoonists are thrown in jail for inciting dissent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eelresnuml's national animal is the Scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Eelresnuml is ranked 21,976^th in the world and 674^th in Two for Highest Poor Incomes, with 88,003.88 Standard Monetary Units.
