The Fersmoar of Ellese is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Fer Misrl Salle with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, infamous sell-swords, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.7 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, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Torsvilo. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ellesean economy, worth 205 trillion Kyes a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,645 Kyes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A paperwork error has naval privateers being directed to attack land-locked nations, a new guerrilla marketing campaign for tap water involves government agents spraying random citizens with hose water, search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, and all music has been banned. 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, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Ellese is ranked 43,419th in the world and 82nd in Wintreath for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.33 law-abiding acts per hour.
