The Kingdom of Elvon is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 680 million Elvonis 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elvon City. The average income tax rate is 49.5%.

The thriving Elvonian economy, worth 58.5 trillion Elvonsmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 85,956 Elvonsmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Unemployed accountants keep double-entry ledgers of their benefit claims, sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, and the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elvon's national animal is the Black Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Elvon is ranked 159,263^rd in the world and 168^th in KAISERREICH for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 287.06 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
