The Federal Republic of Ellann is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 29 million Ellannians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 53.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The weak Ellannian economy, worth 975 billion Lerrons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 33,613 Lerrons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader is going to the moon, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, it is impossible to get any work done as auditors swarm every inch of government factories and mines, and randomly bombing neighboring countries has become the new national sport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ellann's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ellann is ranked 204,672^nd in the world and 2,854^th in The North Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,384.04 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
