The ELF-Eladen Slave World of Demons of Valkarth is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Grand Warden of Valkarth with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, barren, inhospitable landscape, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 38.38 billion ELF slaves are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, 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 Valkarth. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient ELF slave economy, worth an astonishing 11,961 trillion souls a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 311,668 souls, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,139,377 per year while the poor average 60,472, a ratio of 18.8 to 1.

Children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night, CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show, friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, and delivery truck companies use hospital parking lots to store 16-wheelers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Demons of Valkarth's national animal is the imp, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Moghdom.

Demons of Valkarth is ranked 12,794th in the world and 16th in The Alliance of Dictators for Most Stationary, with 1,968.5986012072 days.
