The Crimson Mystery of Ellery Spraysberry is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Sir Ellery with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 22.506 billion Ellery Spraysberrians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City Spray. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ellery Spraysberryian economy, worth a remarkable 1,259 trillion cheshires a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,967 cheshires, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth, proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, and confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ellery Spraysberry's national animal is the ocicat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is tut tut.

Ellery Spraysberry is ranked 141,962nd in the world and 428th in 10000 Islands for Most Stationary, with 196.28572854372 days.
