The Republic of Elomania is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Ethan with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.379 billion Elomanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ethan City. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Elomanian economy, worth 256 trillion Elomias a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,932 Elomias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Moonshine has made a resurgence, depression sinks in after each election when voters realize they are stuck with these people for years, the government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots, and surfing lessons include how to ward off sharks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elomania's national animal is the Hedgehog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Elumeniteism.

Elomania is ranked 8,002^nd in the world and 459^th in The North Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 170.76 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
