The FANTASTICAL REALM of RIBBON EELS is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Gizmo with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 4.701 billion silly fellows are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of DRAGON EEL. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient RIBBON EELSIAN economy, worth 547 trillion shells 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 116,463 shells, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, pollsters are out of a job as elections have been cancelled, fashion models are guaranteed to be 100% genuinely as anorexic as they appear on magazine covers, and they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RIBBON EELS's national animal is the ribbon eel, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is cringe sillyness tomfoolery and fun.

RIBBON EELS is ranked 20,859th in the world and 601st in the Rejected Realms for Most Income Equality, scoring 78.58 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
