The Elephant Kingdom of Proboscidea is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Albus Dumbodore with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 6.612 billion Proboscideans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tuskopolis. The average income tax rate is 19.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Proboscidean economy, worth a remarkable 1,287 trillion tantors a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 194,711 tantors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, the government invades its allies more than its enemies, and solid-gold toilets are Proboscidean prisons' least expensive furnishings. Crime is totally unknown. Proboscidea's national animal is the elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Pachydermism.

Proboscidea is ranked 274,638^th in the world and 114^th in Spiritus for Most Armed, with 0.16 weapons per person.
