The Spellbinding Tears of Planet Elas is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Dohlman Elaan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.491 billion Elasians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Council of Nobles. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.7%.
The strong Elasian economy, worth 505 trillion Daggers a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,496 Daggers, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.
Colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Elasian Liberator", maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, and Merry Birthday is a popular protest song despite the risk of fines and royalty dues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Planet Elas's national animal is the Green Pig, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Planet Elas is ranked 27,254th in the world and 42nd in United Earth Space Probe Agency for Most Stationary, with 1,428.32466226052 days.
