The Most Serene Republic of Elena Ilinykh is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 1.133 billion Elena Ilinykhians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 10.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Elena Ilinykhian economy, worth 53.8 trillion Platinums a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,477 Platinums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, and all beauty contests have been banned. Crime is well under control. Elena Ilinykh's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Elena Ilinykh is ranked 202,495^th in the world and 8,548^th in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 1.13 billion capita.
