The State of Ellmoos is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 13.088 billion Ellmoosians 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 minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Education, Welfare, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.

The strong Ellmoosian economy, worth 581 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 44,428 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 286,344 per year while the poor average 2,785, a ratio of 102 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, Ellmoos has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Ellmoos in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ellmoos's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ellmoos is ranked 237,410^th in the world and 1^st in Jervis Bay Territory for Most Developed, scoring 52.22 on the Human Development Index.
