The Republic of Eldritch Love is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.464 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 35%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining industries.

Space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, convicted murderers are free to walk the streets provided they attend rehabilitation classes, and terrified tympanists are finding themselves on the front lines armed only with kettledrums. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Eldritch Love's national animal is the Cthulu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Ohm .

Eldritch Love is ranked 2,123rd in Lazarus and 82,892nd in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 90 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
