The Konfederacio of Espertujo is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.317 billion Espertujanoj are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Verda Stelo. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Espertuja economy, worth 62.1 trillion Steloj a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 47,172 Steloj, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, government officials have to mortgage their homes to make ends meet, the Espertuja Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, and the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Espertujo's national animal is the Axolotl, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Homaranismo.

Espertujo is ranked 85,976^th in the world and 120^th in The Union of Democratic States for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,930.85 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
