The Soviet Socialist Republics of Esgotex is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Nilton Tinga with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.602 billion Esgotexians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leningrad. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Esgotexian economy, worth 587 trillion exgotens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 127,601 exgotens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Homophobia is off the menu, children's daycare starts at the crack of dawn, turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius', and people are left scratching their heads at the government's decisions. Crime is totally unknown. Esgotex's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Esgotex is ranked 7,812^th in the world and 1^st in The Raiders Commune for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 6,506.41 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
