The Republic of Elzanne is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning horse population. The quiet, industrious population of 6.997 billion Elzanneans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 29.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Elzannean economy, worth 254 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 36,431 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elzanne's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Elzanne is ranked 276,049^th in the world and 12,022^nd in Balder for Highest Average Incomes, with 36,431.69 Standard Monetary Units.
