The Legend of Eldorado Surf is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Jack with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, national health service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.481 billion surfers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eldorado. The average income tax rate is 75.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient pimpin' economy, worth 646 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,918 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

A favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages, and the nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eldorado Surf's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Religion of Jack.

Eldorado Surf is ranked 21,133rd in the world and 440th in the West Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 2,637 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
