The People's Republic of The Efteling is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and public floggings. The compassionate population of 17.604 billion Eftelingians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marerijk. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Eftelingian economy, worth a remarkable 1,106 trillion Gazetas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 62,881 Gazetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, The Efteling is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, and the Gnome is a protected species. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Efteling's national animal is the Gnome, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Efteling is ranked 56,252nd in the world and 3,446th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
