The Federal Republic of Nu Elysium is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic population of 422 million Elysians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Idyllia. The average income tax rate is 45.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Elysian economy, worth 36.7 trillion credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,078 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The standardised national curriculum requires that all-male classes be taught why they have periods, farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land, the nation is stuck in permanent election mode as politicians demand constant do-overs, and the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue". Crime is totally unknown. Nu Elysium's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nu Elysium is ranked 60,468^th in the world and 173^rd in Conch Kingdom for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.81 law-abiding acts per hour.
