The Republic of Essenhorn is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by William Adama with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5.288 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Social Welfare and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Essenhorn City. The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Essenhorn's national animal is the chimp, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the cred.

Essenhorn is ranked 27th in Balder and 4,004th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 68 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
