The Republic of Espeon- is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings, avant-garde cinema, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed population of 814 million Espeon-ians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 19.5%.

The Espeon-ian economy, worth 45.6 trillion Eevee Coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,014 Eevee Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', and Leader has just been declared ruler of Espeon- in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Espeon-'s national animal is the Eevee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Espeon- is ranked 20,159^th in the world and 2^nd in The Kingdom of Eevee for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 6,477.51 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
