The Dictatorship of EliCon is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.394 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 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 74.3%.

The powerhouse EliConian economy, worth 183 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 Uranium Mining. 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 131,632 moenies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", workers have seized control of the economy, the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, and the nation is relieved that all of the recent madness has finally come to an end. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very 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 18,608^th in the world and 372^nd in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,232.36 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
