The Republic of A elf on the Featured shelf is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning Elf population. The hard-working population of 358 million elf on the Featured shelfians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 21.9%.
The elf on the Featured shelfian economy, worth 15.3 trillion Candy canes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 42,714 Candy canes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Elf, reports of arson have doubled since the introduction of a privatised fire protection service, and newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words'. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A elf on the Featured shelf's national animal is the Elf.
A elf on the Featured shelf is ranked 304,906th in the world and 12th in The Featured Region Followers for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -7.43 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
