The Kingdom of Eszaki is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 498 million Eszakians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eszaki. The average income tax rate is 32.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Eszakian economy, worth 20.2 trillion skruns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,481 skruns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government is cracking down on subversive groups, Eszaki has designated Eszaki as its capital city, recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable, and concussed bearball players cannot remember their lineup position. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Eszaki's national animal is the bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Eszaki is ranked 59,380^th in the world and 370^th in Europeia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.48 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
