The Republic of Ezmeren is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.074 billion Ezmerenians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Spirituality, with Defense also on the agenda, while Environment and Industry receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The Ezmerenian economy, worth 369 trillion Nuggets a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 45,713 Nuggets, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 294,629 per year while the poor average 2,865, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ezmeren's national animal is the Rattlesnake.

Ezmeren is ranked 286,106^th in the world and 24^th in Bellatoria for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring zero on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
