The Legend of Eldorado Surf is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Jack with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.312 billion surfers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eldorado. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient pimpin' economy, worth 502 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,550 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens finish cleaning up after the annual National Treasure Hunt just in time for the next one, the government seizes all major gold finds, every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver, and the nation has an international reputation for compassion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eldorado Surf's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Religion of Jack.

Eldorado Surf is ranked 17,785th in the world and 240th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 91.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
