The United Socialist States of Elaribel is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Pham Huynh An Huy with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 1.191 billion Elaribelians 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 Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of William La Paix Aurea. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Elaribelian economy, worth 131 trillion ⁂ ElSTAs a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,276 ⁂ ElSTAs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

News headlines suggest that Pham Huynh An Huy has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks, and industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elaribel's national animal is the turtle and flamingo, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Elaribel is ranked 126,034^th in the world and 3,319^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Corrupt Governments, with 6.48 kickbacks per hour.
