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

The Fiefdom of Elklan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Tony Tony Chopper with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.136 billion Elklanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moselk. The average income tax rate is 88.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Elklanian economy, worth 268 trillion meeses a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,839 meeses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government funds large training centres to turn elks into functioning members of society, suburban residents are told not to panic while hitchhikers swarm their neighborhoods, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, and Formula One cars in Elklan boast 56 miles per gallon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elklan's national animal is the elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Song of the Elk.

Elklan is ranked 123,683rd in the world and 870th in the West Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,796.41 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
