	Elbonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Republic of Elbonia is a fictional country from the comic strips Dilbert and Plop: The Hairless Elbonian.
		Elbonia's government is a dictatorship, run by a right-handed military strongman who strives to crush the lefties.
		Elbonia might be either a conscious or coincidental parallel to one of the venues in Al Capp's long-running strip Li'l Abner: a nation called Lower Slobovia (based on Siberia), whose citizens were perpetually seen in waist deep snow and ice.

	Elbonia and the Friendship Gate
		Travellers should understand that Elbonia is a dysfunctional state with an economy in ruins, sections of the country outside the reach of government authority, and the scars of a civil war fuelled by clan conflict and organised crime.
		Elbonia may have its problems, but lovers of archaeological ruins and mountains will want to brave it.
		The high point of the country's unparalleled monumental scenery is the Friendship Gate, previously known as the Iron gate and for which references go back almost to Marco Polo.

		Elbonia is very anxious to attract new investment from outside countries.
		The border guard, at the Friendship Gate, previously known as the Iron Gate, or the Skull Gate, told me in remarkably good English to stay out Elbonia's northern province of Jakarian, as the natives there, who are universally perceived as trouble-makers, were still restless apparently and the army was advising people to stay away.
		Elbonia is an old French colony, so the good English was surprising.

		For many years the country has been mired in a civil war between the left and right-handed Elbonians, although the war was mostly bloodless, as the Elbonians didn't realize they were allowed to use weapons.
		In order to attract tourists Elbonia openly lies in its promotional videos, and claims to host five of the seven wonders of the world.

		In the past Elbonia wholesalers have purchased vegetable oil from Italy, Argentina and Nigeria, but purchases were small averaging less than 1,000 MT. Annual imports have not surpassed 20,000 MT. Elbonia suffers from chronic scarcity of foreign exchange.

	Guided Paper #1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Little has been written about the country of Elbonia--even its location is unclear to many, though everybody knows that it is somewhere east of Portugal and west of Ukraine, between the Mediterranean and Arctic seas--and so this is your chance to make a name for yourself in political science.
		Since nobody knows much about Elbonia, nobody will be able to check your facts (at least not before you split town), but they will be able to judge whether your account is plausible.
		Be sure to discuss the central political conflicts that shaped Elbonian politics over the centuries, the political institutions that arose as a result, and the change that occurred over time.

	[No title]
		She had just won the gold medal in the Rock-Paper-Scissors Olympics, but now she was stranded in Elbonia with a jealous Gerudo until July.
		She stormed out of Mud International Airport, or whatever it was called, she was too angry to care, even though she was arguably the best rock-paper-scissors player in the world, where was I? Well anyway, she stormed out, with Nabooru (that's the jealous Gerudo, in case you're ignorant) following her.
		Another private jet flew in, and this one was piloted by Impa and Nabooru, returned from their voyage to Elbonia and laden with the bounty of said voyage.

		A few years later, when the Church of Elbonia was just begining, with only 150 Christians in the whole country, the Soviet Union took control and exiled the S.I.M. missionaries from the country.

	Plop - About the comic
		Over the summer I was experimenting with a Dilbert spin-off comic strip about a little boy and his pig growing up in the clueless country of Elbonia.
		In Elbonia, even the women and babies have full beards, so everyone naturally thinks The Hairless Elbonian is slow.
		The experimental aspect is that I blatantly "borrowed" every successful cartooning technique I've ever seen (except for good artwork) and threw it into the mix.

		Plop: The Hairless Elbonian is an experimental spinoff of Dilbert, also written by Scott Adams.
		However, this job is rarely done properly, as exemplified by the example of having a tire tread called "llama".
		Most comics show the idiocy of the people in Elbonia, either because of or leading to its fourth-world status.

	Dilbert: Hunger - TV.com
		Marketing dismisses the idea, but Dilbert sells them on the idea of trying the product in what he believes is the famine-ridden country of Elbonia.
		In Elbonia the "tomeato" is planted and begins to grow quickly in the Elbonian mud.
		Unfortunately this throws Elbonia into a famine, since the mud was their food source.

	The Write Team
		The cartoonist Scott Adams frequently uses the country of Elbonia and its citizens the Elbonians in his very successful Dilbert comic strip.
		The Dilbert cartoons make fun of corporate life and attitudes, and the citizens of Elbonia, a fictional less-developed country, are often the intended victims of unscrupulous corporate schemings.
		Elbonia and the Elbonians are devices that Adams uses to illustrate the attitudes and behaviours he wants to make fun of, and he does this with great success.

		What is learned about outsourcing to India can be left to the reader to apply to their own situations, but let us not forget that this deals with experiences, and as such should reflect that appropriately.
		Instead of putting a title like this which may be provocative, people should involve in a more meaningful political debate, to protect their interests.
		And no, 'Elbonia' is not as good as 'India', it would remind us of Dilbert and that image would detract from the punchline.

		All of this is captured on video and will surely get the children interested in the folklore of Elbonia, the only country to lose a war against France.
		There's also a beautiful wedding ritual story, beginning with the courtship festival of vole-skinning, the engagement mud eating ceremony and finally the fusion of the mothers-in-law with hot mud.

	Handspring's reputation sticks like mud \| The Register
		Actually, the term Elbonia is as affectionate as it is disparaging.
		While Palm's hardware division snoozed, Handspring set out to make a communicator that worked as a phone and yet displayed PalmOS to the rest of the world.
		Elbonia is Scott Adams' mythical Eastern Europe - where Dilbert discovers that the closely guarded recipe for mud is actually - shhh… - soil and water.
