The Republic of Elomania is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ethan with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 5.206 billion Elomanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ethan City. The average income tax rate is 82.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Elomanian economy, worth 668 trillion Elomias a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,406 Elomias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, and textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elomania's national animal is the Hedgehog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Elumeniteism.

Elomania is ranked 16,443^rd in the world and 693^rd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 312.68 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
