The United Socialist States of Elyia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, compulsory vegetarianism, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 536 million Elyians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Welfare, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elysium. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Elyian economy, worth 40.0 trillion monetas 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 74,545 monetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Farting etiquette is taught in schools, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, and schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elyia's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Elyia is ranked 226,393^rd in the world and 58^th in Hive for Largest Populations, with 536 million capita.
