Republic of Elysia

== Formation ==
After the UNSC abandonment of the colony of Havannah in 2550 the surviving colonists left behind were able to rebuild over time and form a society yet again. Fearing that the Human-Covenant War was either ongoing or that Humanity had been largely wiped out the colonists of Havannah whom had been forced to regress to a pre-space age level society formed the Republic of Elysia, also known as the Elysian Republic. Developed from strict and all powerful federal government, ration control, and Exile for punishment of most minor crimes the Elysians slowly became highly paranoid and perversely policed its own people in the name of the survival and safety of humanity.
It was not until 2557 that the Elysian Republic made contact with or had confirmation of humans existing off world. In the meantime the Elysians defended against violent and ruthless pirates and raiders from the south Exile lands who terrorized the fledging society. With most technology lost the Elysians rapidly developed a separate culture and identity over the short time period of isolation following the Covenant attack on their home almost a decade prior. 
=== Economic and Political Demographics ===
Following the apparent collapse of the colonies tourism and vacation based economy, aqua culture and fishing industries took over the governments economy which was mostly reduced to bartering and trading. Tech, which could be made useful to the subsistence civilization was high sought after and often requisitioned or purchased at high reward of increased food rations by the federal government lead by Abigail Banka. 
The Elysian Republic, for good reason, remained extremely xenophobic without the knowledge of the conclusion of the war and the developments in relations with non-human sapient life forms. Radical xenophobes and paranoid doomsday experts rose to prominence in the Elysian government which further shaped its policies and culture throughout the years. 
In the late 2550's the Jaeteran Defense Force arrived in pursuit of Jiralhanae faction Howling Pack and upon discovering Havannah learned of the Republic's existence. Commander Larose among others lead negotiations between Jaeter and Havannah along with bringing the Elysians up to speed with recent galactic history.
