The Empire of Enessia is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 448 million Enessians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Starcadia. The average income tax rate is 10.5%.

The powerhouse Enessian economy, worth 45.0 trillion Favors a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 100,557 Favors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, t-shirts displaying a photo of Leader performing the Full-Monty are selling out, mournful opera fans place bouquets of roses at a 3000 capacity parking lot, and Leader's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Enessia's national animal is the Barn Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Enessia is ranked 9,090^th in the world and 166^th in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 89,999.05 Standard Monetary Units.
