The Bannorn of Elissa is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Bann Lucco vos Byrsa with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 9.689 billion Elissans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zorus. The average income tax rate is 28.7%.

The strong Elissan economy, worth 515 trillion kamas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 53,182 kamas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government spends twice as much reclaiming lost settlements from the sea as it could've on coastal defences, the Laws of War require "enthusiastic consent" (Elissa has found 1 easter egg), protecting the land is holey work, and officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elissa's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Maumiqism.

Elissa is ranked 151,171^st in the world and 3^rd in Mount Olympus for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 37,919.31 Standard Monetary Units.
