The Republic of Esperatio is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates and barren, inhospitable landscape. The compassionate population of 907 million Esperantoj have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 25.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Esperanto economy, worth 38.2 trillion Steloj a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 42,065 Steloj, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Esperantoj like vultures, and when you fly on Air Esperatio you win a seat or you die. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Esperatio's national animal is the Kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Esperatio is ranked 40,479^th in the world and 650^th in The North Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 3,911.52 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
