The Federal Republic of Elmos Interncaional is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Vimm Colsby with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.754 billion Elmosians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sanov. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Elmos Interncaionalian economy, worth 70.4 trillion inters a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 40,122 inters, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The entire entry for Elmos Interncaional in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', when shaking hands with foreign leaders Vimm Colsby wears an armoured gauntlet, Vimm Colsby's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, and drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elmos Interncaional's national animal is the Eagle.
