The Holy Byzantine Empire of Eskvor is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Vandad Von Charlid with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, public floggings, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.444 billion Romanoi are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Miklagard. The average income tax rate is 76.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Roman economy, worth a remarkable 1,403 trillion Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 112,757 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Roman officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, the military has gone fission for more funding, government workers are more efficient and more unhappy than ever, and anti-government demagogues have a devil of a time evading authorities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Eskvor's national animal is the Griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodoxy.

Eskvor is ranked 279,901^st in the world and 297^th in KAISERREICH for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.82 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
