The Hallowed Angel of Death of Elegarth is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by God Emperor Elegarth with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, zero percent divorce rate, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.221 billion Elegarthians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of EleGard. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Elegarthian economy, worth a remarkable 9,023 trillion Gold Coins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 319,747 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Elegarthian-made cars tend to catch fire in people's driveways, people who do not complete their community service are sentenced to more community service, the lasting legacy of the current generation is a million years of buried radioactivity, and 13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elegarth's national animal is the Black Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Elegarth is ranked 14,255th in the world and 202nd in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.14 law-abiding acts per hour.
