The Republic of Elipses is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its burgeoning kangaroo population. The cynical population of 5.768 billion Elipsesians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 27.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Elipsesian economy, worth 219 trillion florins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,010 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elipses's national animal is the kangaroo.

Elipses is ranked 268,620^th in the world and 10^th in The Archipelago States for Highest Average Incomes, with 38,010.16 Standard Monetary Units.
