The Republic of Elsebaai is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning swan population. The hard-working population of 2.861 billion Elsebaaians 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, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 11.3%.

The Elsebaaian economy, worth 163 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Average income is 57,205 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low. Elsebaai's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Elsebaai is ranked 156,118^th in the world and 5,500^th in Lazarus for Most Armed, with 0.32 weapons per person.
