The Confederative Associations of Nu Elysium is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by President Prescott with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 5.217 billion Elysians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xinez Federal District. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Elysian economy, worth 819 trillion elyris a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 157,151 elyris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Owners of man-portable particle accelerator backpacks are advised not to cross the streams, visions of giant pink Greater Avonesian Cranes are a common side effect after Elysians eat their meals, cops in Xinez Federal District spend much of their time napping on a park bench next to Embassy Row, and every child sleeps with a gun to protect themselves from the monster under the bed. Crime is totally unknown. Nu Elysium's national animal is the Greater Avonesian Crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nu Elysium is ranked 5,033^rd in the world and 2^nd in F7 Cliches and Community for Highest Food Quality, scoring 200.54 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
