The State of Eliakim is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 23.058 billion Eliakimians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Welfare and Spirituality not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.4%.

The all-consuming Eliakimian economy, worth 929 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 40,312 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 134,173 per year while the poor average 9,025, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, all tariffs have been abolished, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and Eliakim has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Eliakim's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eliakim is ranked 78,161st in the world and 3rd in Lobamba for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 375.21 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
