The Dictatorship of EliCon is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, zero percent divorce rate, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.363 billion EliConians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Citadel. The average income tax rate is 74.1%.

The thriving EliConian economy, worth 179 trillion moenies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 131,722 moenies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, maps of the enemy's positions are often covered in blood, and the government hopes that Federation janitors overhear all of the good gossip. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. EliCon's national animal is the jake the dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

EliCon is ranked 26,603^rd in the world and 435^th in The East Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,330.3 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
