The Queendom of Everlae is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 617 million Everlaeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 27.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Everlaean economy, worth 23.1 trillion Ahloeses a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,476 Ahloeses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

For just a few extra Ahloeses Everlaeans can get new driving records with their new cars, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, the "right of sanctuary" stops police pursuit into temples and churches, and officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists. Crime is totally unknown. Everlae's national animal is the Cat.

Everlae is ranked 180,983^rd in the world and 4,360^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 51.67 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
