The Greater Fae Riche of Elfland is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Elfqueens with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, infamous sell-swords, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.93 billion Elves 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Féerique. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Elvish economy, worth a remarkable 2,641 trillion elfmarks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 156,015 elfmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, asking 'a penny for your thoughts?' draws law enforcement response, soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, and citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elfland's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Elvish paganism.

Elfland is ranked 8,257th in the world and 2nd in The United Islands of the Atlantic for Highest Poor Incomes, with 135,834.41 Standard Monetary Units.
