The Republic of King Elessar is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.782 billion King Elessarians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.6%.

The powerhouse King Elessarian economy, worth 722 trillion castars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 82,287 castars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 306,973 per year while the poor average 15,465, a ratio of 19.8 to 1.

Burning yourself alive is not okay but starving and whipping yourself is fine, newlywed misogynists complain about their wives keeping their maiden names, no cul-de-sac or trailer park is complete without a gambling parlor, and nobody knows why the caged horse sings. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem. King Elessar's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

King Elessar is ranked 64,712^th in the world and 99^th in Remembrance for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,580.74 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
