The Federation of Eastern Eshonis is a tiny, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The cynical population of 16 million Eastern Eshonisians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 48.5%.

The Eastern Eshonisian economy, worth 698 billion Eshonisian rubles a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,679 Eshonisian rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, a PhD just ain't what it used to be, and a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern Eshonis's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eastern Eshonis is ranked 9,448^th in the world and 8^th in Edoca for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 116.04 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
