The People's Republic of The Efteling is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and public floggings. The compassionate population of 17.45 billion Eftelingians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marerijk. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Eftelingian economy, worth a remarkable 1,097 trillion Gazetas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 62,881 Gazetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, The Efteling is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, and the Gnome is a protected species. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Efteling's national animal is the Gnome, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Efteling is ranked 14,965th in the world and 844th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 101 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
