The Federation of Ellix is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Alexis of Ellix with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 3.32 billion Ellixians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atraxia. The average income tax rate is 25.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Ellixian economy, worth 331 trillion Dacas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,809 Dacas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ellix's national animal is the Sugar Glider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular.

Ellix is ranked 220,355^th in the world and 421^st in Starlight for Fattest Citizens, with 8.75 Obesity Rate.
