The Empire of Eschara is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 444 million Escharans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The strong Escharan economy, worth 19.8 trillion Golds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Gambling, and Tourism. Average income is 44,677 Golds, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Eschara's national animal is the Raven, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Eschara is ranked 194,263^rd in the world and 12^th in Foxtopia for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,198.56 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
