The Sun-Scorched Saxon Kingdom of Esplandia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Irwin IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, disturbing lack of elderly people, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 18.584 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 Education, Environment, 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 47.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Esplandish economy, worth a remarkable 3,711 trillion Scylds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 199,731 Scylds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,803,094 per year while the poor average 2,684, a ratio of 671 to 1.

The steaks are too high for ambassadors to butcher foreign relationships, the government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, it is popularly believed that "cheese every day keeps disaster away", and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime is moderate, 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 235,436th in the world and 5,785th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.48 law-abiding acts per hour.
