The Commonwealth of Ellenburg is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and strictly enforced bedtime. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 10.107 billion Ellenburgians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ellenburg City. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ellenburgian economy, worth a remarkable 1,023 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,237 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia, just as students finish their homework it's time for school, engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", and all fantasy fiction has officially been deemed non-canon. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded 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 343^rd in the world and 2^nd in Autropolis for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 24,041.39 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
