The Empire of Estals is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Waryn with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, enslaved workforce, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 9.71 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 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Estalsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,697 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 174,803 Rals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, trains and passengers alike are often late, sociologists can charge whatever fee they like as the nation tries to find itself, and stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues. 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 4,204^th in the world and 95^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Governments, scoring 45.6 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
