The Colony of Esparanza Town is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The democratic, devout population of 2.555 billion Esparanza Townians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 26.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Esparanza Townian economy, worth 93.4 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,572 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. Esparanza Town's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Esparanza Town is ranked 189,455^th in the world and 7^th in Valua for Largest Populations, with 2.56 billion capita.
