The Nordic Federation of Estellan is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Astrid Karlsen with a fair hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 12.701 billion Estellanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Constellatia. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Estellanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,249 trillion Kronor a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 177,123 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Much of Estellan's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, the numbers on the latest spending report are reaching stellar levels, and the national economy makes a whole lot of nothing. Crime is totally unknown. Estellan's national animal is the Estellanian Short-Snouted Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Estellan is ranked 321,892^nd in the world and 1,424^th in Europe for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
