The Otter of Estebere is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Head Counsel River Marshele with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory vegetarianism, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.692 billion Esteberians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adrad. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Esteberian economy, worth a remarkable 1,777 trillion Silvers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 204,524 Silvers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Head Counsel River Marshele spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug, editorials that criticize the government are legally obligated to display the "pants on fire" warning, and prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Estebere's national animal is the Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Estebere is ranked 582^nd in the world and 11^th in Refugia for Least Corrupt Governments, with 98.22 percentage of bribes refused.
