The State of Ellis Creek is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 35.812 billion Ellis Creekians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Social Policy and Public Transport are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.

The thriving Ellis Creekian economy, worth a remarkable 1,762 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and Ellis Creek has designated Capital Heights as its capital city.
