The Republic of Di Elephanoda is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 543 million Di Elephanodans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Diodaville. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Di Elephanodan economy, worth 30.2 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,532 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Police struggle to solve crimes due to the lack of fingerprint records, ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, the new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, and octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Di Elephanoda's national animal is the Snail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Di Elephanoda is ranked 6,642nd in the world and 27th in NationStates for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.82 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
