The United Socialist States of Eshonis is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 232 million Eshonisians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 58.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Eshonisian economy, worth 17.2 trillion Eshonisian rubles a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,191 Eshonisian rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Museums have more touchscreens on display than artifacts, surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color, almost all products in Eshonis are hand-crafted due to strict employment laws, and foreigners write "made in Eshonis" on shoddy merchandise in hope of receiving a buy-out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eshonis's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Eshonis is ranked 48,729^th in the world and 112^th in The Frontier Sea for Highest Poor Incomes, with 57,048.42 Standard Monetary Units.
