Background

The Republic of Esoterium, founded on June 6, 2007, is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 10,000,000 people enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedom, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct. The nation is the founding member of The Revolutionary Alliance, a region dedicated to the Enlightened principles which inspired the foundation of the United States.

The large democratic government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 23%. A large, dynamic private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Soda Sales and Door-to-Door Insurance Sales.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, television programs must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and the chilren of Esoterium are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in The Revolutionary Alliance. Crime rates across the nation are moderate. Esoterium's national animal is the Master Mason and its currency is the Esoteric Dollar.
