The Commonwealth of Elkia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by 『　　』 with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.407 billion Elkians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elkia City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Elkian economy, worth 456 trillion Gold Pieces a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 133,848 Gold Pieces, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

The armed forces insist that UFOs aren't real... yet, government projects are full of waste, grandiose stage parents insist superyachts and private cinemas are children's basic needs, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime is almost non-existent. Elkia's national animal is the Dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Elkia is ranked 37,387^th in the world and 3^rd in Northern Hemispheric Entente for Most Developed, scoring 80.38 on the Human Development Index.
