The People's Republic of Estvania is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Daniel flipersor with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, public floggings, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.744 billion Estvanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Suoun. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Estvanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,014 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, 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 150,447 Azoucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, and lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you'. 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.

Estvania is ranked 25,481st in the world and 46th in The Kodiak Republic for Most Developed, scoring 84.77 on the Human Development Index.
