The United Socialist States of Eliska is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 498 million Eliskans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 23.4%.
The Eliskan economy, worth 18.6 trillion CZECHOSLOVAKIAAAS a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 37,370 CZECHOSLOVAKIAAAS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.
The army insists there is nothing gay about men in uniforms rolling in the mud, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, and advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eliska's national animal is the Union, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Eliska is ranked 89,592nd in the world and 26th in Centennimisa for Nicest Citizens, with 15.09 average smiles per day.
