The Colony of Esterois is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 6.293 billion Osirans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 39.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Osiran economy, worth 55.8 trillion scarabs 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 8,861 scarabs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Esterois's national animal is the scarab.

Esterois is ranked 312,217^th in the world and 1^st in Esterois for Highest Average Incomes, with 8,861.63 Standard Monetary Units.
