The Federation of Ellix is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Queen Alexis of Ellix with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, national health service, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 3 billion Ellixians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Welfare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atraxia. The average income tax rate is 24.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Ellixian economy, worth 273 trillion Dacas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,199 Dacas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
