The State of Esir is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 10.812 billion Esirians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 7.8%.

The Esirian economy, worth 403 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 37,295 betales, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation rates have hit a new low, the government has adopted a more thrifty attitude to administrating the country's needs, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Esir in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Esir's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Esir is ranked 48,908^th in the world and 3^rd in Winnipeg for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.48 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
