The United Socialist States of Eshonis is a small, genial nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 40 million Eshonisians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 36.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Eshonisian economy, worth 2.21 trillion Eshonisian rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,136 Eshonisian rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

All tribal children are set for life with guaranteed government jobs, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, interest in globalism never flags, and overly distant dads are conscripted into national nappy service. 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 soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eshonis is ranked 121,135^th in the world and 433^rd in The Frontier Sea for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,128.36 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
