The Flagless Nation of Esfalsa is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 17.816 billion Esfalsans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ricubai. The average income tax rate is 89.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Esfalsan economy, worth a remarkable 1,975 trillion Fallors a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 110,884 Fallors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, news headlines suggest that Leader has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, and reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Esfalsa's national animal is the grey goshawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is agnosticism.

Esfalsa is ranked 6,376^th in the world and 182^nd in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,057.9 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
