The Matriarchy of The Royal Lady Galadriel is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Elrond of Riverrun with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, prohibition of alcohol, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 4.788 billion Royal Lady Galadrielians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bruchtal. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Royal Lady Galadrielian economy, worth a remarkable 2,127 trillion Gold Dragons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 444,252 Gold Dragons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,330,768 per year while the poor average 115,913, a ratio of 11.5 to 1.
The nation is Goddess White's leading manufacturer of intricately-patterned sweaters, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, good-looking soldier boys have celebrity status amongst the nation's homosexuals, and the most popular WhoTube videos are ones featuring parodies of iconic songs. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Royal Lady Galadriel's national animal is the DRagon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Marillion.
The Royal Lady Galadriel is ranked 73,660th in the world and 62nd in Goddess White for Most Stationary, with 642.217470925 days.
