The Most Serene Republic of Esilondre is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by High Counciler Alkibiades with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.638 billion Esilondreans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elisia. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Esilondrean economy, worth 236 trillion Golden Crystals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 144,116 Golden Crystals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, and the WhoTube comments section has gone strangely quiet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Esilondre's national animal is the Feniks, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Esilondre is ranked 203,654^th in the world and 3,295^th in the South Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 430.91 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
