The State of Eliud is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 23.631 billion Eliudians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 54.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Eliudian economy, worth 436 trillion betales a year, is highly specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 18,469 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is voluntary and Eliud has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eliud's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eliud is ranked 190,258^th in the world and 4^th in Ulaanbaatar for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 899.88 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
