One of the things I really tried to get across in the book, well, without shoving it down your throat or making it awkward, is that Elysia is a modern country. Their monarchy is constitutional, where the king does have some political power, but not much, and they are totally into technology.
Citizens watch T.V and have iPods and mp3 players, iPads, or at least their fictional equivalents. Not everyone uses them, but they’re about the same as other Western European countries in that respect, even if they do have a bit of an outdated social system.
This is just a headcanon, I don’t want to get sued by the BBC, but gosh darnit, if I had my way then everyone in Elysia would be watching Doctor Who every Saturday night, Olivia would be humming “oooweeeeeoooooooweeeeeoooo-oooooooo” all day long and driving Corvyn up the wall (he doesn’t watch much TV, mostly because he wants everyone to think he reads a lot, and besides that, Baker isn’t on TV anymore and Four is his favorite Doctor).
This post is also on my Tumblr, (here) -- I'm addicted to Tumblr :}
