The Republic of Half Elves is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 6.045 billion Half Elvesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 27.5%.

The Half Elvesian economy, worth 216 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 35,796 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. Half Elves's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Half Elves is ranked 218,772^nd in the world and 14^th in Pink Lotus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 45.83 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
