The Empire of Estals is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Waryn with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.264 billion Estalsians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Colnt. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Estalsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,456 trillion Rals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 176,267 Rals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, sex changes are routinely performed at Estals's hospitals, and the path to inner peace is paved with state-mandated punishment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Estals's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Estals is ranked 9,878^th in the world and 234^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 410.16 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
