The Criminally Insane of Elba II is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Donald Cory with an even hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 6.322 billion Inmates are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Asylum. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Elbanian economy, worth 145 trillion Medicines a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 23,032 Medicines, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center, airplane passenger seat sizes and ticket prices are both first-class, workers' complaints never reach central planning, and all work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elba II's national animal is the Incorrigible, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Elba II is ranked 58,174^th in the world and 41^st in United Earth Space Probe Agency for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
