The Queen's State of Reine-Elisabeth is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 29.983 billion Reine-Elisabethians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Education, Public Transport, and Defense also on the agenda, while Welfare is ignored. The average income tax rate is 52.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Reine-Elisabethian economy, worth 959 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 31,995 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the Governor has just been declared ruler of Reine-Elisabeth in an international press conference, Harry Potter books are banned, and programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reine-Elisabeth's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Reine-Elisabeth is ranked 156,357th in the world and 2nd in Antigua and Barbuda for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.48 law-abiding acts per hour.
