The United Socialist States of Eshonis is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working population of 144 million Eshonisians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 46.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Eshonisian economy, worth 9.57 trillion Eshonisian rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 66,447 Eshonisian rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, members of majority races are forced out of their homes to make way for Bigtopians, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, and power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eshonis's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eshonis is ranked 104,017^th in the world and 375^th in The Frontier Sea for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 46.11 Effective Tax Rate.
