The Şeodwalda Irwin IV of Esplandia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Irwin IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, enslaved workforce, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 20.49 billion Esplandians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Environment, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karşied. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Esplandish economy, worth a remarkable 4,925 trillion Scylds a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Cheese Exports, Gambling, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an amazing 240,377 Scylds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,170,996 per year while the poor average 3,218, a ratio of 674 to 1.
Single celebrities have to repeatedly prove their chastity to avoid being married off to infatuated fans, wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms, the nation's exceedingly polite children have often been referred to as "robots" by international media, and beaches are empty as the shark population multiplies exponentially. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Esplandia's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Eallostianism.
Esplandia is ranked 183,744th in the world and 3,487th in The North Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 26.82 quips per hour.
