The Constitutional Monarchy of Elaeria is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Tupac Amaru with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 24.3 billion Elaerians 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, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vicondor. The average income tax rate is 88.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Elaerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,956 trillion florians a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 80,510 florians, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Corrupt paupers spend taxpayer florians on liquor and tobacco, the government confiscates candy from babies for 'the greater good' of the nation, where there's a will there is usually a password manager, and people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces. Crime is totally unknown. Elaeria's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Elaeria is ranked 315,615^th in the world and 1,284^th in Europeia for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -20.88 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
