The Republic of Elirrea is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 7.088 billion Elirreans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, liberal government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Environment and Industry receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 8.3%.

The Elirrean economy, worth 320 trillion scudoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 45,175 scudoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Elirrea's national animal is the Vermilion flycatcher, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Elirrea is ranked 292,574^th in the world and 23^rd in Dispatchia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring -7.07 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
