The Emirate of Elvis Costello is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 2.874 billion Elvis Costelloans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 44.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Elvis Costelloan economy, worth 86.8 trillion Hats a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,213 Hats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All recreational drugs are legal, the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, Elvis Costello has designated London as its capital city, and even the most lowly council pen-pusher has the same political power as a senior minister. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elvis Costello's national animal is the Opossum, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Elvis Costello is ranked 166,497^th in the world and 34^th in New York for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,077.43 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
