The Republic of Elugria is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, devout population of 870 million Elugrians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fairbank. The average income tax rate is 54.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Elugrian economy, worth 66.2 trillion dollars a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,106 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull, the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, and war vets look after war animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elugria's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Elugria is ranked 56,087^th in the world and 40^th in Ridgefield for Safest, scoring 100.81 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
