The State of Ellen Burdette

“All for Justice”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The State of Ellen Burdette is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.316 billion Ellen Burdetteans 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 relatively small, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Welfare, with Healthcare also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Social Policy 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 14.3%.

The very strong Ellen Burdettean economy, worth a remarkable 1,142 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 37,701 betales, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Ellen Burdette's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, Ellen Burdette has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Ellen Burdette in an international press conference. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ellen Burdette's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ellen Burdette is ranked 236,864^th in the world and 8^th in Samoa for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.82 kickbacks per hour.
