The Commonwealth of Esportivan Union is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.806 billion Esportivans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Public Transport, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 11.3%.

The strong Esportivan economy, worth 305 trillion espoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 52,563 espoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Leader has just been declared ruler of Esportivan Union in an international press conference, a major religion has been named as Esportivan Union's national religion, condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals, and the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system. Crime is moderate. Esportivan Union's national animal is the ever-cursed greater owlephant, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Esportivan Union is ranked 228,508^th in the world and 67^th in Esportiva for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.19 law-abiding acts per hour.
