The Hallowed Angel of Death of Elegarth is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by God Emperor Elegarth with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.297 billion Elegarthians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of EleGard. The average income tax rate is 77.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Elegarthian economy, worth a remarkable 8,946 trillion Gold Coins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 316,177 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

A flying elephant and God Emperor Elegarth share the same nickname, the carcasses of double-deckers can be found littering high streets all around the country, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, and white chocolate is neither chocolate nor food. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elegarth's national animal is the Black Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Elegarth is ranked 80,445th in the world and 967th in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,765.31 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
