The Armed Republic of Ealabasta is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Simón Leaúgua Añana with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.366 billion Ealabastians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Alab. The average income tax rate is 32.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ealabastan economy, worth 184 trillion Ealabasts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 135,317 Ealabasts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Concerned environmentalists wipe away their tears with tissues sourced from Tasmanian old-growth redwoods, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, and convicts get out of jams easily. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ealabasta's national animal is the Horned Viper, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Largest Religion Pravastian Mavailianism.

Ealabasta is ranked 40,073^rd in the world and 7^th in Terra Pacis for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,129.6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
