The Queen's State of Esplanade is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 31.458 billion Esplanadians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.3%.

The strong Esplanadean economy, worth a remarkable 1,395 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 44,366 betales, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary and Esplanade has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is moderate. Esplanade's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Esplanade is ranked 26,268^th in the world and 172^nd in State for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.1 percentage of bribes refused.
