The Democratic States of Eleutharia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 435 million Eleutharians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lacrombia. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Eleutharian economy, worth 7.94 trillion pulas 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 Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. 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 18,253 pulas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Single celebrities have to repeatedly prove their chastity to avoid being married off to infatuated fans, weird or unusual crimes merit cruel and unusual punishments, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, and Eleutharia has designated Lacrombia as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eleutharia's national animal is the octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Eleutharia is ranked 306,352^nd in the world and 533^rd in Sophia for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -8.25 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
