The Republic of Elomania is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ethan with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.814 billion Elomanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ethan City. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Elomanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,313 trillion Elomias a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 133,809 Elomias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elomanian military drills look more like joint-The North Pacific exercises than anything else, public buses smell like litter boxes, urban planners beg for just one more lane before bedtime, and structures are raised on promises. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elomania's national animal is the Hedgehog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Elumeniteism.

Elomania is ranked 3,934^th in the world and 160^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 181 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
