The Highly Optimistic Citizens of Elyria-Lorain is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 31.275 billion Elyrians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 65.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Elyria-Lorainian economy, worth 871 trillion topaz rings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 27,857 topaz rings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elyria-Lorain's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Elyria-Lorain is ranked 2,901st in the world and 6th in Mercenary Lands for Most Stationary, with 3,811.70589384 days.
