The Free Land of Elsie is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 3.789 billion Elsieans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 24.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Elsiean economy, worth 240 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,548 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Recreational drug businesses are regularly pruned if they grow above the maximum legal size, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, and roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elsie's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Elsie is ranked 179,287^th in the world and 33^rd in Serenity for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
