The Queen's State of Ezrawood is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 29.785 billion Ezrawoodians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The very strong Ezrawoodian economy, worth a remarkable 1,075 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 36,123 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 179,013 per year while the poor average 4,133, a ratio of 43.3 to 1.

Elections have been outlawed and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ezrawood's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ezrawood is ranked 183,361st in the world and 4th in Monaco for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
