The Allied States of Elbresia is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alexander Desende with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, devout population of 12.892 billion Elbresians 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 Spirituality, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Allengin. The average income tax rate is 23.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Elbresian economy, worth 918 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, Gambling, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 71,185 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, even secular Elbresians are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", the wood duck stadiums are open 24/7, and deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Elbresia's national animal is the wood duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

Elbresia is ranked 267,026^th in the world and 143^rd in Coalition of Crown Albatross for Most Secular, with 11.46 Atheism Rate.
