The District of Esspee is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 30.486 billion Esspeeans 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 8.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Esspeean economy, worth a remarkable 1,140 trillion betales a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 37,424 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, Esspee's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, gambling is outlawed, and Esspee has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Esspee's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Esspee is ranked 191,030^th in the world and 1^st in the Republic of Croatia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
