The Enlightened Imperium of Eleysa is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Eternal Emperor Alexander the Blue with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 18.542 billion Eleysians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xanderburg. The average income tax rate is 4.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eleysian economy, worth a remarkable 4,743 trillion Weets a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 255,825 Weets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, school children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel, parents often ask to see a credit report before lending money to their own children, and to say that military robots are inclined towards violence is offensive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Eleysa's national animal is the Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Eleysa is ranked 305,144^th in the world and 129^th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -3.16 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
