The Fiefdom of ElinTol is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Grand High Princess EllElin the Infinite with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 22.704 billion ElinTolians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ElinTolopolis Sponsored by Funland Inc. The average income tax rate is 78.4%.

The frighteningly efficient ElinTolian economy, worth a remarkable 3,780 trillion Kells a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 166,531 Kells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

You can call your arthritic immigrant neighbour for all your roof-tiling and guttering needs, the government offers gay men mildly offensive tips on how to pass as straight, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', and a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ElinTol's national animal is the Red Squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Me.

ElinTol is ranked 11,194th in the world and 5th in Atlantis for Most Stationary, with 2,185.51937904448 days.
