The United Kingdom of Elysitopia is a large, safe nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 68 million Elysians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 8.5%.

The strong Coranite economy, worth 4.91 trillion Elysios a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 72,207 Elysios, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The might of the nation's military are undertaking a long march to colonisation in Brasilistan, Brasilistanis face layers of paperwork in a different language just to visit a doctor, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, and heavily stoned police officers are unsure whether the recent directive to 'clean up the streets' means arresting drug dealers or hosing down the sidewalk. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Elysitopia's national animal is the White Sting Serpent, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Elysitopia is ranked 188,115^th in the world and 276^th in The League for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
