The Democratic Meritocracy of Elgoriath is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Kurios Barber with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, ubiquitous missile silos, and digital currency. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.933 billion Dkivsti are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elgin. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Dkivsti economy, worth 992 trillion Dytars 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 143,155 Dytars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', television executives are interested in turning Kurios Barber's zany home life into a sitcom, and the government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elgoriath's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Elgoriath is ranked 4,720th in the world and 12th in United Kingdom for Safest, scoring 132.05 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
