The People's Republic of Estvania is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Daniel flipersor with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.892 billion Estvanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Suoun. The average income tax rate is 59.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Estvanian economy, worth 393 trillion Azoucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 136,061 Azoucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal, Estvanians are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, and no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Estvania's national animal is the Humpback whale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is The great Jackpot.

Estvania is ranked 50,804th in the world and 69th in The Kodiak Republic for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,865.23 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
