The United Socialist States of Eshonis is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 26 million Eshonisians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 29.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Eshonisian economy, worth 1.39 trillion Eshonisian rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,308 Eshonisian rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Swings are banned for being a danger to children, delivery truck companies use hospital parking lots to store 16-wheelers, polygamy is legal, and broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eshonis's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eshonis is ranked 148,993^rd in the world and 465^th in The Frontier Sea for Most Developed, scoring 55.64 on the Human Development Index.
