The Holy Island Empire of The Elysian Empire is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Abrahan the I with an iron fist, and renowned for its national health service, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.147 billion Elysians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Island of Elysia. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Elysian economy, worth 306 trillion Elysian Dellians a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,910 Elysian Dellians, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Pieces of iron pyrite are believed to be worth their weight in gold, directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use The Island of Elysia as a backdrop, school uniforms are compulsory, and social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Elysian Empire's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

The Elysian Empire is ranked 41,795^th in the world and 946^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.96 law-abiding acts per hour.
