The Eternal Empire of Grand Elysium is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Kronos with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, ban on automobiles, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.483 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."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Makaron Nesoi. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Grand Elysiumian economy, worth a remarkable 3,389 trillion Elysiites a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 295,178 Elysiites, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Invasive species are hunted by the gendarmerie, officer recruitment and police brutality have reached an all-time high, declaring that "some kids are just born evil" is not endearing Kronos to progressive thinkers, and it's usual for grandparents to stay in the family home with their descendants but younger children are often frightened of them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grand Elysium's national animal is the Eagle of Kronos, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cult of Kronos.

Grand Elysium is ranked 193,813th in the world and 281st in Concord for Most Stationary, with 55.74286015788 days.
