The Commonwealth of Ellenburg is a titanic, cultured nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 23.224 billion Ellenburgians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ellenburg City. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ellenburgian economy, worth a remarkable 2,464 trillion dollars 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 Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 106,134 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, and noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ellenburg's national animal is the bobcat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ellenburg is ranked 279,795^th in the world and 6^th in Autropolis for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.73 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
