The Queendom of Eliara is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Queen Eliara with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, avant-garde cinema, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 18.418 billion Eliarans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Education, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eliara City. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Eliaran economy, worth a remarkable 3,522 trillion Liaras a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 191,231 Liaras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, "Queen Eliara got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom, occupational wage levels are based on a crumpled napkin authored by a legendary Eliara City bus driver, and Queen Eliara's perky ego is the talk of the town. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Eliara's national animal is the Foxel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Eliaranism.
Eliara is ranked 73,362nd in the world and 2nd in Star Trek for Most Stationary, with 644.2235807522 days.
