The Democratic Republic of Elarune is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, absence of drug laws, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate population of 2.443 billion Elaruneans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Environment, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thalenmir. The average income tax rate is 44.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Elarunean economy, worth 153 trillion Liraels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,736 Liraels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence, blue bloods are welcome in Elarune, Leader's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elarune's national animal is the Starshadow Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Elarune is ranked 178,642^nd in the world and 69^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 109.53 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
