The State of Ellis Valley is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 39.393 billion Ellis Valleyians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.1%.

The very strong Ellis Valleyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,730 trillion betales a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 43,941 betales, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Ellis Valley's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the government is avowedly atheist, and Ellis Valley has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ellis Valley's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ellis Valley is ranked 217,176^th in the world and 236^th in State for Highest Average Incomes, with 43,941.39 Standard Monetary Units.
