The Federation of Elysium Heights is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by High Chancellor Seraphina Everhart with an even hand, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 2.317 billion Elysium Heightsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Celestia. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Elysium Heightsian economy, worth 277 trillion Elysium Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 119,726 Elysium Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, there's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, and the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elysium Heights's national animal is the Havenian Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Unitarian Universalism.

Elysium Heights is ranked 281,159^th in the world and 17,480^th in Chicken overlords for Most Patriotic, with 0.49 flags saluted per person per day.
