The Autonomous Region of Eastern Settlement is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 533 million Ésqipítsinkąq are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kąrtąq. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.

The strong Ésqipískoq economy, worth 30.2 trillion kroner a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. Average income is 56,612 kroner, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 168,649 per year while the poor average 14,887, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Copyright laws have been abolished, builders across Eastern Settlement are blocked up with orders for new public loos, restaurateurs put a lot of effort into persuading customers to accept wafer-thin mints, and Eastern Settlement has designated Kąrtąq as its capital city. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Eastern Settlement's national animal is the polar bear.

Eastern Settlement is ranked 143,652^nd in the world and 12^th in Union of Conlang Nations for Highest Average Incomes, with 56,612.81 Standard Monetary Units.
