The Royal Confederacy of Eluvatar is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Presiding Steward Beregond ArFinn with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, national health service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 35.374 billion Eluvatarans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The relatively small government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Romenna. The average income tax rate is 12.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Eluvataran economy, worth a remarkable 5,355 trillion Romennan Dukats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 151,403 Romennan Dukats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Schoolboys trained in chivalry are encouraged to duel other boys for a maiden's hand, water fights now end with thousands dead, Presiding Steward Beregond ArFinn can cry on demand, and pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eluvatar's national animal is the Lynx, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is the Church of Eru.
Eluvatar is ranked 54,185th in the world and 9th in Taijitu for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 247,348 Standard Monetary Units.
