The Armed Republic of The Elite Class is a large, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 143 million Elite Classians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Spirituality also on the agenda, while International Aid and Administration receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The powerhouse Elite Classian economy, worth 12.4 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 86,762 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 680,075 per year while the poor average 2,784, a ratio of 244 to 1.

Prosecutors are tucked into bed by the household police officer, the Super-Spud Cinematic Universe is breaking box office records, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, and rap artists are regularly arrested for promoting extremist groups. Crime is moderate. The Elite Class's national animal is the Quail, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Elite Class is ranked 57,155^th in the world and 2^nd in Ray Rice Region for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,857.13 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
