The United Socialist States of Easo is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by President Desideria Altamura with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.177 billion Easoans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 52.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Easoan economy, worth a remarkable 2,366 trillion rieshes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,284 rieshes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The internet has been placed under government control, parents often ask to see a credit report before lending money to their own children, the only things written in the stars are arrest warrants for astrologers, and adding salt and pepper to food is enough to raise suspicion of treason. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Easo's national animal is the zebra, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violetism.

Easo is ranked 112,720^th in the world and 113^th in The Western Isles for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,270.95 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
