The Ultravisionary Sultanate of Essic is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ahmed Istvan Horthy with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 4.001 billion Essicans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of State of Kirvota. The average income tax rate is 75.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Essican economy, worth 605 trillion Social Drips a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,274 Social Drips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters, fake designer clothes are shredded and burnt while many in the world don't have a shirt on their back, Ahmed Istvan Horthy's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman, and victims of limb-mauling industrial accidents are told to keep working with their remaining hand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Essic's national animal is the Mayushii☆'s Metal Upa, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam.

Essic is ranked 9,678^th in the world and 2^nd in Islamic Commonwealth for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,689.36 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
