The District of Elbe-Elster is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The democratic population of 1.76 billion Elbe-Elsterians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 37.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Elbe-Elsterian economy, worth 25.7 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 14,607 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign musicians that Leader dislikes are turned away at the border, pop stars who make it big overseas are hailed as economic heroes, panels from bankrupt rooftop solar companies are used as props for sci-fi B-movies, and a major religion has been named as Elbe-Elster's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elbe-Elster's national animal is the Germany, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Elbe-Elster is ranked 212,879^th in the world and 9^th in Brandenburg for Largest Populations, with 1.76 billion capita.
