The Grand Imperial Confederacy of Eldiastan is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 689 million Eldiastanis are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Muskovia. The average income tax rate is 66.6%.

The strong Eldiastani economy, worth 55.8 trillion lego studs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 81,033 lego studs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Surfing lessons include how to ward off sharks, children are raised bilingual from an early age, theatre may or may not be changing for the better but it is being changed for good, and the state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eldiastan's national animal is the Ashkovian Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eldiastan is ranked 222,272^nd in the world and 56^th in Thegye for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -4.64 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
