The Holy Kingdom of Ellbonnia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Gustav VIII with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate population of 1.147 billion Ellbonnians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ptolemaeus. The average income tax rate is 86.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ellbonnian economy, worth 147 trillion Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,827 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign musicians that King Gustav VIII dislikes are turned away at the border, drones are unable to lift the weight of their accompanying paperwork, tourists visit Ellbonnia to mass-moon Ellbonnian politicians, and government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ellbonnia's national animal is the Usian bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ellbonnia is ranked 5,430^th in the world and 259^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 16,182.56 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
