The Constitutional Monarchy of Elayu is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Queen Juliet Rose I with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The compassionate, cynical population of 8.003 billion Elayuans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alayu City. The average income tax rate is 84.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Elayuan economy, worth a remarkable 1,046 trillion Alayus a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 130,816 Alayus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Protesters against the government are hanged as a warning to others, the nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Queen Juliet Rose I in ermine and velvet garb, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, and national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elayu's national animal is the Salyu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roseism.

Elayu is ranked 21,136^th in the world and 1,190^th in Balder for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,138.85 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
