The Confederacy of Elwher is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Fah Lo Suee with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 25.743 billion Elwherites enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tanelorn. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Elwherian economy, worth an astonishing 15,451 trillion Gold Dragons a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is a breathtaking 600,213 Gold Dragons, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.
Aeroplane cockpits no longer have altimeters or airspeed indicators, a stocking with a crooked seam or a tie without a full Windsor knot are grounds for instant dismissal, Violetist maidens who fall for an outsider must leave their violet light districts in shame, and angry citizens complain that there isn't enough geographical diversity on the new banknotes. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Elwher's national animal is the Phoorn dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.
Elwher is ranked 307,385th in the world and 3rd in Libertarium for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
