The United Socialist States of Elyia is a huge, genial nation, notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, keen interest in outer space, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 481 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, with Administration, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elysium. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Elyian economy, worth 35.2 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 73,204 monetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, a vast monorail network carries people all over the country, Leader is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, and saying "don't do anything that Leader wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal. 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 21,091^st in the world and 9^th in Hive for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,829.23 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
