The Queendom of Ellabur3 is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen with an even hand, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, parental licensing program, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 14.451 billion Ellabur3ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cider. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ellabur3ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,592 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 248,598 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Aristocratic family trees are beginning to resemble tumbleweeds, the term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, and the Ellabur3ian government is the world's largest NGO. Crime is totally unknown. Ellabur3's national animal is the Cocker Spainel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Anneorine.

Ellabur3 is ranked 234^th in the world and 20^th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 146.41 average smiles per day.
