The Royal Investment Opportunity of The English White Elephant Company is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Sir Edward Staley with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.024 billion Baizounese 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Elephant House offices in London. The average income tax rate is 18.8%.

The strong Baizounese economy, worth 429 trillion sterling silvers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,093 sterling silvers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Sir Edward Staley has just been declared ruler of The English White Elephant Company in an international press conference, Anglicanism though only very technically has been named as The English White Elephant Company's national religion, fashion models are guaranteed to be 100% genuinely as anorexic as they appear on magazine covers, and officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The English White Elephant Company's national animal is the white elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Anglicanism though only very technically.

The English White Elephant Company is ranked 167,063^rd in the world and 7^th in Baizou Jima for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
