The Fiefdom of Elklan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Tony Tony Chopper with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.192 billion Elklanians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moselk. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Elklanian economy, worth 272 trillion meeses a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,485 meeses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-meese treacle machine, museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, and the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elklan's national animal is the elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Song of the Elk.

Elklan is ranked 22,329^th in the world and 347^th in the West Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,419.48 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
