The Human Soldier of Elite Vanguard is a massive, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.919 billion Human Soldiers 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 10.6%.

The strong Elite economy, worth 101 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 52,775 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

No animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it, on hunt days the unpleasant peasant runs in lieu of the pheasant, women complaining about lack of opportunity are told to "man up", and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime is a problem. Elite Vanguard's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Elite Vanguard is ranked 267,448^th in the world and 15^th in Strixhaven for Most Beautiful Environments, with 93.04 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
