The Sharia Republic of Elbailand is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Elbai Osmon with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, national health service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 4.341 billion Elbailandians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Education, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elbaistadt. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Elbailandian economy, worth 385 trillion Elbailandian dirhams a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,807 Elbailandian dirhams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Environmentalists are staging large protests in front of reopened nuclear power plants, people are left scratching their heads at the government's decisions, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', and vacationers and business travelers are often warned that they may lose the right to vote if they spend too much time overseas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elbailand's national animal is the Elbailandian Mountain tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Elbailand is ranked 35,802nd in the world and 58th in Wintreath for Highest Poor Incomes, with 68,237.9 Standard Monetary Units.
