The Gold and Silver Alloy of Electrum is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Computator with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 23.494 billion Electrumites enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Centralis. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Electrumite economy, worth a remarkable 4,190 trillion Synergies a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 178,350 Synergies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The temple hierarchy have found that endorsements are even more lucrative than indulgences, families burn The Computator's latest official photograph to keep warm, citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process, and men are finding 'she spots' more easily but they can't use them. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Electrum's national animal is the Koala, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Satire.

Electrum is ranked 17,387^th in the world and 13^th in Rushmore for Highest Food Quality, scoring 125.7 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
