Neither a paradise, nor a republic, the Incorporated Elysian Republic, otherwise known as IER-CO, was the official name given to the civilized multiverse (as far as it was then known), during the problematic reign of Pontious Augustus Henry Mohammed Bajar, more commonly remembered as the Dread Dictator. At the end of the Rebellion that resulted in the overthrow of said dictator, the First Galactic Council for Deciding What to Do Next came to the unanimous decision that the civilized Multiverse (however it was to be known) would hereafter remain unnamed. Officially, that is. The thought was that any official name might tend to raise the hopes of the populace in a manner that was sure to result in depression on a massive scale, should the name not be lived up to. The new age, of course, was dubbed AnarchEra and would retain that name until the time of the Great Change.
