The Predicate Presidium of Eshonia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 4.276 billion Eshonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Eshonian economy, worth 119 trillion Shonars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Gambling. Average income is 27,975 Shonars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Major archaeological findings are frequently bulldozed to make way for new buildings, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Crocodile, citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, and high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eshonia's national animal is the Crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Eshonia is ranked 239,099^th in the world and 46^th in Tarkin for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.81 kickbacks per hour.
