The Republic of Eflad is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hanna Tirng with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.651 billion Efladians 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Münnen. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Efladian economy, worth a remarkable 1,094 trillion Ippons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 143,094 Ippons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, and white strait-jackets are the new orange jumpsuits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eflad's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eflad is ranked 113,802nd in the world and 1,630th in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 342.48285719972 days.
