The Green Republic of Sylh Alanor is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Radhmael Silvehn with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.101 billion elves are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arlathan. The average income tax rate is 84.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Elvehn economy, worth 47.9 trillion planets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming. Average income is 43,488 planets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The pursuit of wanted criminals ends at the entrance of the pay'n'spray garage as police refuse to enter any private property, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, solid-gold toilets are Elvehn prisons' least expensive furnishings, and people across the world seek to be healthier by eliminating carbs. Crime is totally unknown. Sylh Alanor's national animal is the halla, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Old Ones.

Sylh Alanor is ranked 3,802^nd in the world and 2^nd in Refugia for Most Pacifist, with 155.26 Cheeks Turned Per Day.
