“I am not to be forgiven and ask for desolation”

Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Shamed State of Eldurgoth is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Death with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.135 billion Deadmen 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, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Death. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dead economy, worth a remarkable 1,982 trillion Last Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 217,051 Last Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, new homeowners go furniture hunting with crowbars, a surprisingly large share of the nation's budget is used to buy new houses for immigrants, and Death has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eldurgoth's national animal is the Walking Tombstone, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Death.

Eldurgoth is ranked 82,797^th in the world and 1^st in Driselbia for Healthiest Citizens, with 3.3 bananas ingested per day.
