The Grand Duchy of Eldarien is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Grand Duke Baldridge with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.91 billion Eldarios are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Libertatia. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eldariano economy, worth 218 trillion Velars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 114,519 Velars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government, government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, and foreign policy is based upon the principle of sieve and take. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eldarien's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnostic.

Eldarien is ranked 144,084^th in the world and 63^rd in Norrsken for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,138.85 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
