The Heavily-Legged Strongmen of ElJefe is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Snorlax with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 49.582 billion Jefes are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snorlaxia. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient ElJefean economy, worth an astonishing 15,867 trillion Dong a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 320,019 Dong, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sporting events are the biggest source of funding for ElJefean schools, rogue nations are placing suspiciously large bulk orders for student laptops, scientists take credit every time it rains in Osiris, and death is nobody's business. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ElJefe's national animal is the Dao, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

ElJefe is ranked 62,541st in the world and 2,272nd in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,956.43 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
