The Matriarchy of Els Qami Ele is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-working, cynical population of 407 million Els Qami Eleans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The relatively small, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 16.9%.

The Els Qami Elean economy, worth 19.1 trillion Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Trout Farming, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,834 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, Els Qami Elean watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, and X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Els Qami Ele's national animal is the peacock, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Els Qami Ele is ranked 259,327^th in the world and 4,688^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 1.31 flags saluted per person per day.
