The State of East-South is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.028 billion East-Southians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The strong East-Southian economy, worth 912 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 60,719 betales, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 352,613 per year while the poor average 4,954, a ratio of 71.2 to 1.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, East-South has designated Westminster as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of East-South in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. East-South's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

East-South is ranked 286,414^th in the world and 528^th in 0000 for Lowest Crime Rates, with 37.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
