The Republic of Ezerastan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its public floggings, zero percent divorce rate, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 1.583 billion Ezerastanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 58.7%.

The Ezerastanian economy, worth 94.3 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,579 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Code enforcement officers circle wealthy Ezerastanians like vultures, the government invades its allies more than its enemies, sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, and pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ezerastan's national animal is the aplix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ezerastan is ranked 270,081^st in the world and 122^nd in RPS for Fattest Citizens, with 6.65 Obesity Rate.
