The Kingdom of Espargos is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 220 million Salenses hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Defense, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 28.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Salense economy, worth 23.7 trillion Ar-Nebulitas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 107,631 Ar-Nebulitas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, self-sufficiency is built on seizing foreign assets, multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors, and government leaders testify at international tribunals on why the sun went out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Espargos's national animal is the Sirius, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Espargos is ranked 53,917^th in the world and 17^th in Portugal for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,743.97 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
