The People's Republic of Elgardia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Orvich Milasenko with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.909 billion Elgardians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Legalimux. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Elgardian economy, worth 955 trillion Elgars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 194,447 Elgars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Self-driving cars are unpopular due to suspicion that they murder their passengers, the government is spending millions on 'trust campaigns' in an effort to win back the public's support, ratings for schools' curricula range from 'Pure as the Driven Snow' to 'Late Night TV', and criminal rehabilitation takes place in re-education centers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elgardia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dulhenism.

Elgardia is ranked 5,531^st in the world and 127^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Developed, scoring 94.2 on the Human Development Index.
