The Queendom of Eliara is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Queen Eliara with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 19.769 billion Eliarans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eliara City. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eliaran economy, worth a remarkable 3,794 trillion Liaras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Tourism and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 191,917 Liaras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomatic cables about Queen Eliara have suddenly been very flattering, loudmouthed journalists are given the chop, military funding has been stripped back, and schools offer a range of lessons in subjects as diverse as The Economics of Bullying for Lunch Money. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Eliara's national animal is the Foxel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Eliaranism.

Eliara is ranked 45,654th in the world and 5th in Star Trek for Most Secular, with 29.05 Atheism Rate.
