The Pax Augusta of Eldarion Telcontar is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 22.663 billion Eldarion Telcontarians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Healthcare, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sherwood Forrest. The average income tax rate is 48.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Eldarion Telcontarian economy, worth 951 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 41,986 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's youth is held blameless for all crimes, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, and terrified neighbors cower behind concertina wire and machine gun nests. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. Eldarion Telcontar's national animal is the Sheriff, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Origin.

Eldarion Telcontar is ranked 237,586th in the world and 1st in Ainur for Lowest Crime Rates, with 55 law-abiding acts per hour.
