The Federal Republic of Eleuthelrium is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 5.328 billion Eleuthelriumians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prosperitas. The average income tax rate is 93.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eleuthelriumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,830 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 343,535 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles, the military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles', the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', and midnight pizza breaks are common among the work-from-home population. Crime is totally unknown. Eleuthelrium's national animal is the Animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Eleuthelrium is ranked 2,851^st in the world and 75^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 713.75 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
