The United States of Elevation is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 45.875 billion Elevationians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Environment, although Defense and Education are also considered important, while Public Transport and Healthcare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beacon Heights. The average income tax rate is 2.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Elevationian economy, worth a remarkable 6,800 trillion Bottle Caps a year, is highly specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,247 Bottle Caps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, army rations are served on silver platters, and political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm. Crime is totally unknown. Elevation's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is a major religion.

Elevation is ranked 75,565^th in the world and 2,175^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.21 law-abiding acts per hour.
