The Republic of Elomania is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Ethan with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 5.078 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 82.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Elomanian economy, worth 653 trillion Elomias a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,732 Elomias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. 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 4,596^th in the world and 198^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 176 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
