The District of Eley is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 29.298 billion Districtors 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. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Eleyian economy, worth 315 trillion aurums 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 aurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, military spending is on the increase, and Eley has designated District City as its capital city. 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 bovina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eley is ranked 123,924^th in the world and 1^st in State of Kuwait for Nicest Citizens, with 13 average smiles per day.
