===Foreign relations===
{{Main|Foreign relations of Elissia|Foreign policy of Elissia}}
Elissia has a network of 212 diplomatic missions abroad and maintains relations with more than 190 countries. Elissia is a founding member of [[IRSA]] (headquartered in [[Castella]]), [[Council of Gondwana]], [[Commonwealth of Unovian Nations|Unovian Commonwealth]], and is a permanent member of the [[International Forum]]. It has been influential in the [[Unovia (region)|Unovia Region]] since its inception and has maintained a strong alliance with Augustia and Mizore since 1945. Elissia promotes a unified Unovian political, economic, and security alliance with Augustia and Mizore and
Elissia maintains a [[Augustia–Elissia relations|deeply integrated relationship]] with neighboring Augustia, with free mobility of citizens between the two countries under the Unovian Travel Arrangement and free trade under the Unovian Commonwealth treaty. Both nations share a common history and similar cultures, self-identity, and ideas. In 2022, both governments expressed interest in merging into one nation, including Mizore.

Elissia has been a center of [[Gondwana|Gondwanan]] cultural development for centuries. Many Elissian artists have been among the most renowned of their time; Elissia is still recognized in Gondwana for its rich cultural tradition.
Elissian culture is best described as a mix of Elissian ingenuity for the arts and culture and Gensian resourcefulness for the betterment of all that lives. This mix has caused a noticeable divide in Elissia when culture is brought up. Elissian culture makes up the vast majority in Eastern Elissia, while on [[East Unovia Island]] and the surrounding islands, Gensi culture is much more prominent. Ever since meeting one another, both cultures have learned to coexist and, in doing so, make each other better. Nowadays, both cultures are seen as one entity, which is also made up of other cultures like [[
Traditional Elissian-Gensian arts include crafts such as pottery, textiles, and swordmaking; performances of puppeteering, dance, and storytelling; and other practices, tea ceremonies, flower arrangements, martial arts, calligraphy, hot springs, and games. Elissia has a developed system for the protection and promotion of both tangible and intangible cultural properties and national treasures through the [[Ministry of Culture (Elissia)|Ministry of Culture]]. The Ministry of Culture has been
Elissians have traditionally been characterized by a strong work ethic, competitiveness, and individualism and a unifying belief in emphasizing liberty, equality, private property, and democracy. Elissians are extremely charitable by global standards: according to a 2020 Morstaybishlian study, Elissians gave 1.8% of their GDP to charity, more than any other nation studied.

Rice and noodles have been a staple for hundreds of years. Many dishes are a combination of meat and either rice or noodles. Steak Udon is a popular dish as both ingredients are stir-fried with a broth or a paste. Another popular dish is rice bowls, generally accompanied by tuna, beef, and many vegetables.
Beef is often enjoyed more in eastern Elissia as seafood is hard to come by, and livestock is very plentiful. Most dishes consist of a cut of meat, starch (typically potatoes), and a type of bread. This meal structure is typical of the [[Unovia (region)|Unovia Region]] and differs from Eastern and Southern Gondwana, though it often consists of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Late-morning and mid-afternoon snacks are also usually included in this meal structure.
Bread is a significant part of eastern Elissian cuisine, and Elissian bakeries produce about 300 main types of bread and 900 types of pastries and rolls.

Popular Elissian beverages include rice wine, which typically contains 14–17% alcohol and is made by multiple fermentation of rice. Beer has been brewed in Elissia since the late 17th century. Wine has become popular in many parts of the country, especially in the Southern
Elissia is the world's second-highest per capita cider consumption and the second-largest cider-producing country on Urth behind Augustia. Ciders from Tanigawa are generally more robust. Cider is also popular in Mizore as an alternative to hard liquor. In Great Morstaybishlia, varieties of fermented cider are often called hard cider to distinguish alcoholic cider from non-alcoholic apple cider or "sweet cider," also made from apples. In Augustia, cider cannot contain less than 2.5% or over 13% absolute alcohol by volume.

Judo is widely known as Elissia’s national sport. Created in 1885 by Kano Jiro and Kyuzo Miza, Judo was used as a form of exercise by the Gensi of East Unovia Island. Many teachers of Judo, like Jiro and Miza, taught classes of 20 or less in a small, matted room where anyone could master the technique of Judo. In 1899, Judo made its way to eastern Elissia, with most citizens seeing Judo as a self-defense technique. Miza took this reaction to increase Judo's potential among the masses and started teaching Judo to customers with little to no experience. Judo, eventually

The three major television broadcasters in Elissia are the [[Elissian Broadcasting Company]] (
Elissia's commercial radio broadcasting includes FM stations and AM stations. In addition, there are numerous public radio stations run by universities and public authorities for educational purposes and internet-based radio stations run by anyone with an internet connection and an Internet Commercial Radio Broadcasting License (ICRBL). As of June 2022, there are 854 licensed full-power radio stations in Elissia, according to the [[Elissian Communications Commission]] (
The national newspaper of Elissia is the ''[[Elissian News]]''. Although the cost of publishing has increased over the years, the price of newspapers has remained low, forcing Elissian News to rely more on advertising revenue and articles provided by advertisement firms and political parties. Most city and department newspapers have gone online, while some have dual versions online and in print. Major cities often have "alternative weeklies" to complement the mainstream daily papers, such as Castella’s ''The Peninsula Perceptive'',

The Unovian Phoenix and the coat of arms of Elissia have ties to the region of Unovia, along with [[Augustia]] and the northern part of [[Orderia]]. All three countries were at one point part of Augustia, represented by the Unovian Phoenix.
The national anthem of Elissia is ''[[Together]]'' by [[Fumie Akiyoshi]] and [[Francesca Armend]], translated by Hiltonium Hilton and Fé van Kessel. The anthem was originally
