The Wilderness of Eloren is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.077 billion Eloren are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Unbound Glade. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Eloren economy, worth a remarkable 8,615 trillion pods 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 significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an amazing 408,779 pods, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The true length of the coastline of Eloren may never be measured, enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, the recital of citations that follows any political speech can be longer than the speech itself, and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Eloren's national animal is the triffid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eloren is ranked 47,567^th in the world and 15^th in Refugia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 21,059.02 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
