The Backwards Nation of El Aitrebil is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Arcbalia with an iron fist, and renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, zero percent divorce rate, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.924 billion El Aitrebilians 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, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capitalia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.1%.
The thriving El Aitrebilian economy, worth a remarkable 1,777 trillion Modeerfs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 149,098 Modeerfs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 533,406 per year while the poor average 29,918, a ratio of 17.8 to 1.
The nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, citizens who don't recite the Pledge of El Aitrebil at least three times a day are placed on a terrorist watch-list, pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, and soldiers are taught to throw their guns at their enemies once the bullets have run out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. El Aitrebil's national animal is the Evod, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
El Aitrebil is ranked 236,973rd in the world and 41st in Libertium for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -4.86 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
