The Last Alliance of Elves and Men is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 1.91 billion Elves and Men have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 24.7%.

The Last Alliance economy, worth 82.7 trillion silver coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 43,305 silver coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Elves and Men's national animal is the horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Elves and Men is ranked 156,339^th in the world and 1,991^st in Artificial Solar System for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 62.85 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
