The Stellar Realms of Elyreia is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Aelune Starwhisper with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 17.312 billion Elyreians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Artelamena. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Elyreian economy, worth a remarkable 4,078 trillion eldins a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 235,567 eldins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You can't ask the government "you and whose army?" when they declare they're going to rob you, separate but equal doesn't include commute time, frequent flyers are chiseled into statues, and selling advanced CPUs to anti-Elyreian terrorists is no chip on the government's shoulders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elyreia's national animal is the aquavulpe, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kosyr.

Elyreia is ranked 3,600^th in the world and 80^th in the Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 53.23 average smiles per day.
