The Feline Realm of The Elysian Order is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by a cat with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, triple-decker prams, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.215 billion Cats are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meowville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Feline economy, worth 335 trillion cat foods a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 151,414 cat foods, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,379,299 per year while the poor average 1,868, a ratio of 738 to 1.

The strong are acquitted and the weak are trampled in trial by a Cat, rag-wearing teachers are often mistaken for homeless people, foreign governments are looking into weaponizing the infamous Feline bee, and twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Elysian Order's national animal is the Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Felinism.

The Elysian Order is ranked 295,594th in the world and 6,520th in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 1,868.36 Standard Monetary Units.
