The Dictatorship of Elucidate is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 259 million Elucidateans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 22.4%.

The Elucidatean economy, worth 14.6 trillion Airpods a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,392 Airpods, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Half of Elucidate's doctors can't speak the language, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles, and fur coats have become the latest fashion trend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elucidate's national animal is the Dummythicc, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Elucidate is ranked 183,768^th in the world and 8,113^th in The North Pacific for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 69.29 Tourists Per Hour.
