The Republic of Elis is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 25.756 billion Elisians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized, moralistic, pro-business government prioritizes Spirituality, with Law & Order, Industry, and Defense also on the agenda, while Welfare isn't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.5%.

The powerhouse Elisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,182 trillion drachmas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 45,901 drachmas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 157,478 per year while the poor average 9,819, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Elis has designated Elis City as its capital city, Leader has just been declared ruler of Elis in an international press conference, a major religion has been named as Elis's national religion, and abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Elis's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Elis is ranked 195,593^rd in the world and 128^th in Department Store for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
