The Commonwealth of Eld Fen is a mammoth, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 6.119 billion Eld Fenians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Eld Fenian economy, worth 94.9 trillion Staidish Chestnuts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 15,504 Staidish Chestnuts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Eld Fen City for fear of causing a fuss, tourists visiting the nation are harangued for being capitalist pig-dogs, recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed, and posh restaurants scatter glass fragments on the dining room floor to keep out barefoot undesirables. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eld Fen's national animal is the wampus cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eld Fen is ranked 100,483^rd in the world and 1^st in Aros Elyium for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 33.22 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
