The United Socialist States of Elaribel is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Pham Huynh An Huy with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, devout population of 1.092 billion Elaribelians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of William La Paix Aurea. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Elaribelian economy, worth 120 trillion ⁂ ElSTAs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,237 ⁂ ElSTAs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Hit TV show 'The eXecution Factor' is a critical success, boom-and-bust cycles are being peddled as economically inevitable, the entire retail industry has been replaced by online delivery services, and neighboring nations are tired of Elaribel's big fish stories. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elaribel's national animal is the turtle and flamingo, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Ho Chi Minhism.

Elaribel is ranked 25,745^th in the world and 638^th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
