General History
Elled is a haven to mad-scientists, people who's affinity for science creates near magical effects. Created by the Mad Scientists Union in as a way of eluding state-sponsored restrictions on what they do best, the technology development is pretty much anything-goes, so you could find anything there. Until the formation of Svensylsquatostan as part of the fallout of The Pineapple War, it had only one minor problem, Gal-Zabor, and could afford to ignore it. Unfortunately it has several problems. The one it now considers the biggest is Felina. In fact, cats are the only anthromorph that aren't welcome there. Elled has a high-level of technology and is skilled at using holography for illusions. They believe that they are fighting for survival against the catkin.
Government Workings
Elled is run by an oligarchy of sorts. This major decision making part of this oligarchy is known as the Mad Scientists Council. In order to get a place on the council you have to be a Mad Scientist. While not all mad scientist will serve on the council, when the occasional election arises all Mad Scientists get a vote.
The council is in theory led by the PM, although given the nature of the council this means he leads them when they allow themselves to be led. The current incumbent is DA
Military
Being surrounded by countries larger than itself and havin regular plagues of were-wolverines Elled stands ready to defend itself from any threat. Elled's miltary when fully mobilised is large for its population, since only part of it comes from voluntary recruitment. But because of necessity almost all people have served time in the army and thus most are well trained.
Elled's high level of science and the existance of weres enables it to have very specific special ops forces. On the miltary weres tend to to fall into three roles - Spies, Spec Ops, or commandos, depending on the forms and mooncurses they have.
Weres and Anthros
A wide range of weres and anthros exist in Elled. While cat-anthros are not accepted in Elled anynmore, were-cats are allowed though they have some rather strong restrictions upon what they can do.
Elled contains a fair amount of Foxkin, but since fox is a fairly popular anthro form, it is difficult to tell how many fox-anthro's are foxkin and how many are TF'd. (Were-foxes never made it to Elled because of one of their practical jokes backfiring) There is a way to tell Foxkin apart from TF'd foxes. This has lead to two different sayings depending on the attitude of the speaker. "Can't twist their tail." tends to be used to imply shortcomings and is often used by racist weres and anthros especially towards foxkin. The more progressive suggest that the aformentioned people should be on the reciving end of a "Foxkin tail squad." Implying that they need to be hit with several cluebats repeatedly.
While Elled can create anthros, even to one that looks like a catkin, they have a problem when magic gets involved, especially when the magic is central to the "race" in question. As a result they cannot TF zombies, catkin, foxkin nor weres.
