The State of Elijah Hydra is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.326 billion Elijah Hydrans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.3%.

The strong Elijah Hydran economy, worth 411 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is 44,070 betales, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, and Elijah Hydra has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Elijah Hydra's national animal is the deer.

Elijah Hydra is ranked 82,055^th in the world and 3^rd in Lagos for Most Corrupt Governments, with 19.57 kickbacks per hour.
