The Communist Republic of Elizbastan is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by National Secretary Constantine Martin with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.216 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, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. 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 1,090 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 Uranium Mining. 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 209,092 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 the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elizbastan's national animal is the Orca, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.
Elizbastan is ranked 4,219th in the world and 112th in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 120.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
