The Kingdom of Elifrieden is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Alistair Thorne with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, fear of technology, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.472 billion Elifriedenians 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 Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solhaven. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Elifriedenian economy, worth 161 trillion Dalcs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 110,027 Dalcs, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Subsidisation of Big Pharma has stopped many corporate executives from having to sell their second homes, when shaking hands with foreign leaders Alistair Thorne wears an armoured gauntlet, the annual Adult Film Awards have a category for most titillating aftershave advert, and rich people sell their mansions to pay for endless rows of mobile homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elifrieden's national animal is the Golden Phoneix and its national religion is Secularism.
