The Queen's State of Esplanade is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 31.427 billion Esplanadians 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 juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.3%.

The strong Esplanadean economy, worth a remarkable 1,394 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 44,366 betales, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary and Esplanade has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is moderate. Esplanade's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Esplanade is ranked 123,625^th in the world and 333^rd in State for Highest Drug Use, scoring 133.54 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
