The United States of Elevation is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 34.428 billion Elevationians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Environment, with Defense and Education also on the agenda, while Healthcare and Public Transport aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beacon Heights. The average income tax rate is 1.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Elevationian economy, worth a remarkable 5,107 trillion Bottle Caps a year, is highly specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,349 Bottle Caps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, army rations are served on silver platters, and political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm. Crime is totally unknown. Elevation's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is a major religion.

Elevation is ranked 52,641^st in the world and 2,548^th in The North Pacific for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 160,258.86 Standard Monetary Units.
