The Kingdom of Espargos is a mid-sized, genial nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 91 million Salenses hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 13.1%.

The thriving Salense economy, worth 7.93 trillion Libra Salenses a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 87,116 Libra Salenses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Fraternities are rejoicing at government-subsidized partying, prisoners have been known to host cooking and home décor television shows, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, and the CEO of Laws Incorporated must sign off on all new bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Espargos's national animal is the Cavalo de Bronco, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Espargos is ranked 66,658^th in the world and 48^th in Portugal for Highest Poor Incomes, with 44,545.46 Standard Monetary Units.
