The United Kingdom of The Elder Isles is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and public floggings. The hard-working, democratic population of 756 million Elderians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avalon. The average income tax rate is 23.4%.

The very strong Elderian economy, worth 59.0 trillion ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 77,985 ducats, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, no one gossips with Leader during diplomatic summits, the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience, and the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Elder Isles's national animal is the griffin.

The Elder Isles is ranked 298,251^st in the world and 45^th in Lennart for Nudest, with 19.25 cheeks per square mile.
