The Queen's State of Esrom Pharas is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.882 billion Esrom Pharasians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The thriving Esrom Pharasian economy, worth 662 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is highly specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 28,935 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 88,390 per year while the poor average 7,341, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear and voting is voluntary. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Esrom Pharas's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Esrom Pharas is ranked 130,876th in the world and 3rd in Bissau for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
