The Queendom of Ellamaa is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Ella Maalane with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, public floggings, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.794 billion Ellamaanimals love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ellamaa Kyla. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ellamaanimal economy, worth 244 trillion Ellamoneys 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Book Publishing. Average income is 87,339 Ellamoneys, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ella Maalane is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, the numbers on the latest spending report are reaching stellar levels, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, and the governments pockets have been emptied filling useless garages. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ellamaa's national animal is the Ellammas, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ellamaa is ranked 20,528^th in the world and 84^th in Refugia for Most Cultured, scoring 87 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
