The Ranging Herd of Elk is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lincoln Elkhart with a fair hand, and renowned for its lack of airports, smutty television, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.611 billion Elk love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elks Lodge. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Elk economy, worth a remarkable 1,766 trillion clovers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 152,119 clovers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, invasive species are hunted by the gendarmerie, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, and hockey players who drop their gloves discard them on abandoned baseball mitts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elk's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Crow Way.

Elk is ranked 13,099th in the world and 2nd in Democratia for Most Stationary, with 1,927.41426645408 days.
