The Hallowed Angel of Death of Elegarth is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by God Emperor Elegarth with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.339 billion Elegarthians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of EleGard. The average income tax rate is 77.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Elegarthian economy, worth a remarkable 9,085 trillion Gold Coins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 320,603 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Information Technology facilities are being turned into Black Dragon habitats, conspiracy theorists allege EleGard's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, and the national security service are a bunch of crooks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elegarth's national animal is the Black Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Elegarth is ranked 127,214^th in the world and 1,895^th in the West Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 112.02 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
