The Gold and Silver Alloy of Electrum is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Computator with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 16.574 billion Electrumites 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, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Centralis. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Electrumite economy, worth a remarkable 2,869 trillion Synergies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 173,135 Synergies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Visions of giant pink Koalas are a common side effect after Electrumites eat their meals, no cul-de-sac or trailer park is complete without a gambling parlor, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, and they say that Electrumites made a dessert and called it peace. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Electrum's national animal is the Koala, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Whatever you want.

Electrum is ranked 6,984^th in the world and 9^th in Rushmore for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 12,728.37 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
