The Democratic Meritocracy of Elgoriath is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Kurios Barber with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.956 billion Dkivsti are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elgin. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Dkivsti economy, worth 998 trillion Dytar ʊs 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 143,533 Dytar ʊs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending is on the increase, hospitals in Elgoriath are too busy serving the needs of United Kingdom to see Dkivsti, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, and every week is blindness awareness week. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elgoriath's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Elgoriath is ranked 2,895th in the world and 4th in United Kingdom for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 3,533.41 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
