The Queen's State of Eley is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 17.313 billion Eleyians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Eleyian economy, worth 186 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 10,763 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police force is on a recruitment drive, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eley's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eley is ranked 164,411^th in the world and 9^th in Asmara for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring zero on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
