The Commonwealth of Ellenburg is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its parental licensing program, ubiquitous missile silos, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 18.168 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 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ellenburgian economy, worth a remarkable 1,915 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 105,415 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Janitors and factory workers are often better educated than the bosses they work for, groups of three or more trees are cut down in the name of 'child safety', a proud mining community is considering a rebellion after the Capital officially renamed them 'District XII', and the Ellenburg City XV Regiment (aka "The Goat Starers") have yet to win a battle. 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 7,139th in the world and 10th in Autropolis for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 13,017.18 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
