Location: The Triphorian Empire

Overview • Factbook • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The United Nation of Elcana is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President John Starkey with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.632 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Social Welfare and Social Equality are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kingstonbury. The average income tax rate is 96%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, the breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Elcana, and prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elcana's national animal is the Gorrila, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Elca.

Elcana is ranked 2nd in The Triphorian Empire and 40,027th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 141 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
