OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Commonwealth of Eskalon is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.854 billion Eskalonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Eskalonian economy, worth 234 trillion Skas a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 34,267 Skas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, the government is spending more on exports to Brasilistan than it's receiving from tariffs on the imports, Leader has just been declared ruler of Eskalon in an international press conference, and owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eskalon's national animal is the Alpacas, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eskalon is ranked 148,768th in the world and 2,975th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 167.15466385428 days.
