The Grand Imperium of Estovakiva is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Autarch Valerian Agaard with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 21.848 billion Estovakivans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cinigrad. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Estovakivan economy, worth a remarkable 3,975 trillion Kravyets a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 181,950 Kravyets, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,123,958 per year while the poor average 12,763, a ratio of 88.1 to 1.
Punitive tariffs protect local industry, the commercialisation of highly deadly weapons has instilled Estovakiva with a very polite populace, Estovakiva is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and private business has started paving paradises and putting up parking lots. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Estovakiva's national animal is the Warg, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Estovakiva is ranked 285,573rd in the world and 10,968th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 38.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
