The Plastic Paradise of Elbow Monkey is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, parental licensing program, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 23.409 billion Elbow Monkeys have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The enormous government prioritizes Law & Order, with Industry, Administration, and Social Policy also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monkey Jungle. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Elbow Monkeyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,762 trillion barrels a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 75,307 barrels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
Foreign workers are flooding in as barrels flood out, drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Monkey Dung" has been declared a national treasure, and the new coalition government has 99 problems and can't agree on how to fix one. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elbow Monkey's national animal is the monkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is hand-holding.
Elbow Monkey is ranked 9,517th in the world and 2nd in Redundant Realm of Redundancy for Most Stationary, with 2,426.4715026128 days.
