The Constitutional Sultanate of Elboniana is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sultan Häyäh with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 21.502 billion Elbonianans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valhalla. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Elbonianan economy, worth a remarkable 4,146 trillion Benjamins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 192,844 Benjamins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Elboniana, double-parking is on the rise as automobile numbers increase, and forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elboniana's national animal is the Jackelope, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Elboniana is ranked 6,140th in the world and 14th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 58.24 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
