The Commonwealth of Esdraelia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Gareth Vryce with a fair hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.458 billion Esdraelians 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 minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Education, Environment, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brighton. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.1%.

The thriving Esdraelian economy, worth a remarkable 2,702 trillion Silver Thalers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 164,220 Silver Thalers, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 953,676 per year while the poor average 13,399, a ratio of 71.2 to 1.

Gareth Vryce can cry on demand, the only issue that Gareth Vryce has is that there aren't enough issues (Esdraelia has found 5 easter eggs), cops in Brighton spend much of their time napping on a park bench next to Embassy Row, and sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Esdraelia's national animal is the Aquila, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Esdraelia is ranked 30,193rd in the world and 1,829th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 66.83 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
