The Protectorate of House Escher is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning Kitsune population. The quiet, industrious population of 4.555 billion House Escherians 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 prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Administration are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 16.0%.

The large but inefficient House Escherian economy, worth 178 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,151 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction, and the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. House Escher's national animal is the Kitsune.

House Escher is ranked 233,388^th in the world and 10^th in Necromunda for Safest, scoring 41.57 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
