The Sovereign People of Eladard is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.093 billion Eladardians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cerinia. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Eladardian economy, worth 290 trillion Bolses a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,045 Bolses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, and Leader spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eladard's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eladard is ranked 36,686^th in the world and 611^th in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
