The Kingdom of Elymia is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 437 million Elymians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.1%.

The very strong Elymian economy, worth 27.1 trillion Denaris a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 62,041 Denaris, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 219,996 per year while the poor average 12,621, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

It is quite common for bar patrons to discuss Wittgenstein over cordials and games of backgammon, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, frightened witnesses and seriously ill jurors wear the same handcuffs as the defendant, and commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elymia's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Elymia is ranked 20,871^st in the world and 103^rd in Talonia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 6,395.28 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
