The Confoederatio Stellarum of Eshnar is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Queen Lucrezia Dominie with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 3.728 billion Eshnarians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nu'Ban. The average income tax rate is 48.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Eshnarian economy, worth 154 trillion Nars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 41,507 Nars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Queen Lucrezia Dominie is the self-declared God of all Eshnar, a surprising number of police officers have been arrested for Majestic Erkai sacrifices, no one is quite sure what many government officials look like, and seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eshnar's national animal is the Majestic Erkai, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Order of the Stars.

Eshnar is ranked 185,024^th in the world and 7,880^th in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 49.4 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
