The Galactic Empire of Eldrado is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Imperator Mihael with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 18.371 billion Eldradonians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eden. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Eldradonian economy, worth a remarkable 7,558 trillion Aurelius Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 411,438 Aurelius Marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,600,305 per year while the poor average 72,325, a ratio of 22.1 to 1.

Things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, scientists spend more time enduring government inspections than they do on actual science, unemployed political consultants and advertisers spend every election night weeping for the good old days, and welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Eldrado's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Eldradonian Christianity.

Eldrado is ranked 330,979^th in the world and 260^th in The League for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 1,234.32 Standard Monetary Units.
