The State of Elb

“Every Last Batch”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The State of Elb is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.198 billion Elbians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Industry also on the agenda, while Defense receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.3%.

The strong Elbian economy, worth 755 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 32,559 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 221,365 per year while the poor average 1,749, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, surveillance cameras are banned, and Elb has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Elb's national animal is the deer.

Elb is ranked 268,814^th in the world and 8^th in Riga for Safest, scoring 11 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
