The United Kingdom of Elysitopia is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 45 million Elysians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 6.4%.

The strong Coranite economy, worth 3.43 trillion Elysios a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 76,333 Elysios, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", high school bands practice by moonlight, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Elysitopia's national animal is the White Sting Serpent.

Elysitopia is ranked 127,503^rd in the world and 285^th in The League for Safest, scoring 70.86 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
