The Empire of Elravia is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 165 million Elravians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 37.9%.

The Elravian economy, worth 7.56 trillion Erdons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 45,792 Erdons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elravia's national animal is the Duck-lion.

Elravia is ranked 149,126^th in the world and 1,038^th in Europe for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 586.37 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
