The Green of Elysium Station II is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Green with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 20.376 billion Elysians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlantic City. The average income tax rate is 86.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Elysian economy, worth 845 trillion pennies a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, extremely specialized black market in Tourism and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 41,487 pennies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens, punk rockers smash it up and then clean it up, people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, and UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elysium Station II's national animal is the ducky, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is baha.

Elysium Station II is ranked 11,076th in the world and 8th in Lone Wolves United for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,144.8 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
