Elysium

Elysium: The Lost Colonially

The Elysium is the result of the occupation of Rhodesia, of about a 200 years ago. A former colony, it was abandoned with the peace accords that followed the first war of the seven nations. It was formed by colonists who refused or couldn't return to their home country. As a result Elysium is referred to as Little Rhodesia. Its government is modeled off of its parent, but with far more chaotic results. The six major families fight for prestige and power in the main government which results with frequent power struggles and shifting alliances.
