The United States of Eldana is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 3.942 billion Eldanans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blackwood. The average income tax rate is 87.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eldanan economy, worth 646 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 164,028 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, an internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of Leader, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, and hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eldana's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eldana is ranked 135,147^th in the world and 2,495^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,093.78 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
