The Democratic Republic of Esolia is a huge, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 405 million Esolians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 39.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Esolian economy, worth 15.8 trillion Es a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,076 Es, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, Esolia's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, children are raised bilingual from an early age, and veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Esolia's national animal is the Pitbull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Esolia is ranked 51,365^th in the world and 698^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 694.47 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
