The Empire of Elthalion is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by His Majesty Emperor Elthalion with an even hand, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, public floggings, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 16.211 billion Elthalionians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elthalion City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Elthalionian economy, worth a remarkable 2,443 trillion Elins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 150,746 Elins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 563,403 per year while the poor average 28,249, a ratio of 19.9 to 1.

Teach an angler how to phish and he can make a living, His Majesty Emperor Elthalion can cry on demand, heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-Elin treacle machine, and corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elthalion's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Elthalion is ranked 4,728^th in the world and 298^th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 120,446.33 Standard Monetary Units.
