The State of Elmira Bonner is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 6.696 billion Elmira Bonnerians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Elmira Bonnerian economy, worth 103 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 15,416 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Elmira Bonner. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elmira Bonner's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
