The Republic of Elsonaro is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 10.532 billion Elsonaroans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 28.3%.

The Elsonaroan economy, worth 364 trillion rubledollars a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 34,612 rubledollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, and hazmat suits are a common Elsonaroan garb. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elsonaro's national animal is the hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Elsonaro is ranked 267,502^nd in the world and 1,317^th in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 24,816.91 Standard Monetary Units.
