The Vala Ainur of Este Lady of Healing is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Will of Eru with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.768 billion Este 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lorellin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Este economy, worth 287 trillion Light of the Valars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 103,930 Light of the Valars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 357,783 per year while the poor average 22,118, a ratio of 16.2 to 1.

Citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, schoolchildren are divided over Will of Eru's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech, and many politicians are serving jail time for minor drug offenses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Este Lady of Healing's national animal is the Secret Fire, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Faith of Eru.

Este Lady of Healing is ranked 54,976th in the world and 14th in After the Fall for Highest Average Incomes, with 103,930.18 Standard Monetary Units.
