The Dominion of Elaris is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 780 million Elarisians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Elarisian economy, worth 5.19 trillion Lalus a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 6,652 Lalus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and police drones follow every suspected Peeping Tom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elaris's national animal is the Quokka, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Elaris is ranked 176,426^th in the world and 97^th in Sancturia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 122.67 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
