The Federation of Esaonop is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.017 billion Esaonopians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. The average income tax rate is 64.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Esaonopian economy, worth 411 trillion Latinums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 82,033 Latinums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, serial killers are the country's biggest import, nerds everywhere are rejoicing as they are reunited with their computers, and large areas of Esaonop are not accessible by the public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Esaonop's national animal is the Python, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Esaonop is ranked 15,833rd in the world and 1,202nd in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 117.79 kickbacks per hour.
