The Federal Republic of Eleuthelrium is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 975 million Eleuthelriumians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prosperitas. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Eleuthelriumian economy, worth 134 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 138,216 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, discarded pennies litter the streets, and heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-dollar treacle machine. Crime is totally unknown. Eleuthelrium's national animal is the Animal, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Eleuthelrium is ranked 203,244^th in the world and 9,601^st in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 447.49 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
