The Commonwealth of Ellenburg is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, parental licensing program, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 12.004 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 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ellenburgian economy, worth a remarkable 1,252 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,308 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The national anthem is a rather effective sleeping aid, online weather reports are predicting five years of glorious sunshine for Ellenburg, organisations with 800 in their phone number are often raided by special forces, and the Ellenburgian basket weaving sector is on the brink of collapse as cheap imports flood the market. 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 201,388^th in the world and 13^th in Autropolis for Most Primitive, scoring -180.88 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
