The Federal Republic of Elmos Interncaional is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Vimm Colsby with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.808 billion Elmosians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sanov. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Elmos Interncaionalian economy, worth 71.2 trillion inters a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 39,362 inters, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pro-democracy regime change has been avoided, burglars are known for taking cash, socks, and other valuables, prime picnicking sites are being paved over in the name of progress, and rural teens have learned how to send emojis in Morse code. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elmos Interncaional's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Elmos Interncaional is ranked 54,226th in the world and 5th in Northern Sea for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 67.19 Effective Tax Rate.
