The Democratic Socialist Nation of Esheaun Stroakuss is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Vivian Darkbloom with an iron fist, and renowned for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.594 billion Esheaun Stroakussians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Dante. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Esheaun Stroakussian economy, worth a remarkable 1,538 trillion ES Dollars 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. 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 an impressive 160,350 ES Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voters regularly try to eat their ballot papers, self-sufficiency is built on seizing foreign assets, medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak, and lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive. Esheaun Stroakuss's national animal is the Gecko, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Esheaun Stroakuss is ranked 329,591^st in the world and 17,635^th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -18.57 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
