The State of Ellesmere Prime is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.26 billion Ellesmere Primeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The very strong Ellesmere Primean economy, worth 793 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 34,120 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 231,978 per year while the poor average 1,833, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, voting is voluntary, military funding has been stripped back, and Ellesmere Prime has designated Central Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ellesmere Prime's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ellesmere Prime is ranked 89,753^rd in the world and 1^st in Northern Harbour for Largest Black Market, with 3.20 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
