The Hallowed Angel of Death of Elegarth is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by God Emperor Elegarth with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.284 billion Elegarthians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of EleGard. The average income tax rate is 76.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Elegarthian economy, worth a remarkable 8,956 trillion Gold Coins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 316,674 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

It's often raining men (hallelujah) in EleGard, the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, all alcohol is banned, and raindances intended to summon storms instead attract tourists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elegarth's national animal is the Black Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Elegarth is ranked 22,005^th in the world and 343^rd in the West Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,299.94 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
