The Communist Republic of Elizbastan is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by National Secretary Constantine Martin with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.269 billion Elizbastanians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antarora. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Elizbastanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,113 trillion Frezas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 211,253 Frezas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, citizens are constantly disappointed to find their nuisance neighbours are still alive, and nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elizbastan's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Elizbastan is ranked 262,548^th in the world and 3,682^nd in the Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -199.71 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
