The People's Republic of The Efteling is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its public floggings, sprawling nuclear power plants, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate population of 12.053 billion Eftelingians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marerijk. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Eftelingian economy, worth 733 trillion Gazetas a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 60,865 Gazetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little 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 11,745^th in the world and 649^th in The North Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.3 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
