The Constitutional Sultanate of Elboniana is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sultan Häyäh with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 21.359 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 4,140 trillion Benjamins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 193,852 Benjamins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Savvy students quote paywalled research knowing that university lecturers can't afford to check the citations, the bum of Sultan Häyäh has been voted the most recognisable in Elboniana, the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, and convicts released after being found "wrongfully imprisoned" are surprisingly chill about the whole thing. 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 16,737th in the world and 40th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Lowest Crime Rates, with 92.51 law-abiding acts per hour.
