The Republic of Esdar is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 616 million Esdarians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Olso. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Esdarian economy, worth 65.7 trillion Esdaus a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 106,732 Esdaus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Small patches of desolate land across the world are part of Esdarian sovereign territory, major cities run on potato batteries, behind every great person are three dozen other people passing great memos, and explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends. Crime is totally unknown. Esdar's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Esdar is ranked 47,498^th in the world and 2,322^nd in The North Pacific for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 1,080.43 Tourists Per Hour.
