The Demon-Infested Paradise of Elite Bay is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Zaghremdarin with a fair hand, and notable for its lack of airports, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.585 billion Elite Bayites are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aegavmek. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Elite Bayite economy, worth 80.9 trillion Tacoes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 17,648 Tacoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', it is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow, relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, and the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elite Bay's national animal is the Sunfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Elite Bay is ranked 60,584^th in the world and 1^st in Popuko for Smartest Citizens, with 40.69 quips per hour.
