The Dominion of Espary is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Sitra Casca with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.344 billion Esparyians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newala. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Esparyian economy, worth 216 trillion kronor a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,692 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights, enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, it is rumoured that Sitra Casca uses a magic 8-ball to make policy decisions, and Esparyian doors require a Ph.D. to open. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Espary's national animal is the lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cuwism.

Espary is ranked 22,110^th in the world and 373^rd in the West Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 967.61 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
