The District of Elle Christian is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Liard with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The quiet, industrious population of 35.349 billion Elle Christianians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 16.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Elle Christianian economy, worth a remarkable 1,140 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,259 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, Elle Christian has designated District City as its capital city, Liard has just been declared ruler of Elle Christian in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Elle Christian's national religion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elle Christian's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Elle Christian is ranked 175,682^nd in the world and 1^st in Coventry for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 139.95 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
