The Fersmoar of Ellese is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Fer Misrl Salle with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, triple-decker prams, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.942 billion Elleseans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Torsvilo. The average income tax rate is 59.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ellesean economy, worth 150 trillion Kyes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,263 Kyes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advert breaks are played at lower volumes to make them easier to ignore, all tariffs have been abolished, Fer Misrl Salle's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site, and defense lawyers often argue there's no proof murder victims weren't vampires. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ellese's national animal is the Aspaos, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ellese is ranked 230,861^st in the world and 235^th in Wintreath for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 62,355 Standard Monetary Units.
