The Commonwealth of Ellenburg is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 19.475 billion Ellenburgians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

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 2,056 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 105,601 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The only places to see bobcats now are at local zoos, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, the police use sound cannons and mortars to deal with loud parties, and the state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation. 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 310,974^th in the world and 20^th in Autropolis for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -10.11 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
