The Flagless Nation of Esfalsa is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 17.58 billion Esfalsans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ricubai. The average income tax rate is 89.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Esfalsan economy, worth a remarkable 1,949 trillion Fallors a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 110,884 Fallors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, news headlines suggest that Leader has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, and reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Esfalsa's national animal is the grey goshawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is agnosticism.

Esfalsa is ranked 12,277th in the world and 315th in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 109 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
