The Dominion of Essayer is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Protector Charlotte Ellis with an even hand, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, ubiquitous missile silos, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 24.75 billion French are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Angers. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient French economy, worth a remarkable 4,678 trillion pound sterlings a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 189,045 pound sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, the nation is famous for bravely sending wave after wave of its soldiers until the enemy runs out of bullets, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, and a government program is underway to revitalize Essayer's beaches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Essayer's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Essayer is ranked 2,177th in the world and 1st in The NationStates Community for Most Stationary, with 4,013.70576456 days.
