The Marxist-Leninist Republic of Elizbastan is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by National Secretary Constantine Martin with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.621 billion Elizbastanians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antarora. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Elizbastanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,167 trillion Frezas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 204,084 Frezas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, no one engages in 'locker room talk' any more, and Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elizbastan's national animal is the Orca, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secular State.

Elizbastan is ranked 4,186^th in the world and 86^th in the Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 175,993.24 Standard Monetary Units.
