The Sun-Scorched Saxon Kingdom of Esplandia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Irwin IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, disturbing lack of elderly people, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 18.647 billion Esplandians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Education, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karşied. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Esplandish economy, worth a remarkable 3,762 trillion Scylds a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Cheese Exports, Retail, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 201,797 Scylds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,785,749 per year while the poor average 3,212, a ratio of 555 to 1.
Little girls are in tears as Emperor Irwin IV confiscates their pink princess ballgowns, criminals tell the police where their jurisdiction ends, even snitches get stitches, and the diplomatic corps stinks. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Esplandia's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Eallostianism.
Esplandia is ranked 67,249th in the world and 990th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 707.37459589108 days.
