The Texas Regional Games Host of Little Thranduil is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Little Thranduil with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.986 billion Elves are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Woodland Realm of Mirkwood. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Elven economy, worth 514 trillion Sindarin Mirians a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 129,003 Sindarin Mirians, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 387,010 per year while the poor average 33,588, a ratio of 11.5 to 1.

Asking a cutie their star sign is always met with withering scorn, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, movies depict muscle-bound women kicking down a titanium door to carry hysterical men to safety, and the new "Bloodbath" orange tree autonomously seeks and destroys independent orchards. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Little Thranduil's national animal is the White Deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Little Thranduil is ranked 75,316^th in the world and 53^rd in Texas for Most Authoritarian, with 857.61 milliStalins.
