The Fiefdom of Elklan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Tony Tony Chopper with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.094 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 large, socially-minded, outspoken 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 88.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Elklanian economy, worth 261 trillion meeses a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,045 meeses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", street preachers spend more time condemning government bureaucracy than passers-by, and escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky. 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 149,761^st in the world and 1,296^th in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 495.57 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
