The Colony of Eshavanar is a mammoth, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.216 billion Eshavanarians 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 tiny, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Defense, Law & Order, and International Aid are also considered important, while Industry and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The Eshavanarian economy, worth 407 trillion lire a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 49,593 lire, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 319,634 per year while the poor average 3,108, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Eshavanar's national animal is the ermine, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Eshavanar is ranked 276,999^th in the world and 53^rd in Colonies for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 675.58 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
