The Republic of Eskovar is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 5.43 billion Eskovarians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oured. The average income tax rate is 22.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Eskovarian economy, worth 343 trillion coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,227 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many marriages go virtually unconsummated, you need a signed affidavit from a registered psychiatrist to claim that you have crazy low prices, old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, and Eskovar has designated Oured as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Eskovar's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eskovar is ranked 283,117^th in the world and 88^th in St Abbaddon for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -14.83 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
