The Demon-Infested Paradise of Elite Bay is a huge, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 776 million Elite Bayites are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cuoasta. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Elite Bayite economy, worth 13.5 trillion Tacoes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 17,342 Tacoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, gambling is outlawed, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elite Bay's national animal is the Sunfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Elite Bay is ranked 43,423^rd in the world and 335^th in 10000 Islands for Most Cultured, scoring 75 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
