The United Socialist States of Esperonia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Scarboro with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.205 billion Esperonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Batasunara. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Esperonian economy, worth 551 trillion Carbon Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 172,164 Carbon Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort, President Scarboro reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, and the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Esperonia's national animal is the Okapi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Esperonia is ranked 4,255th in the world and 208th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 120.46 law-abiding acts per hour.
