The Commonwealth of Estmand is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Grand Marshal Skye Windstock with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 10.528 billion Estmandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Halcyon. The average income tax rate is 3.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Estmandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,821 trillion e-zlats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 267,958 e-zlats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government winter plans get a frosty reception, immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day, nude art is becoming wildly popular, and toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Estmand's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Estmand is ranked 68,337^th in the world and 30^th in Union of Christian Nations for Safest, scoring 96.56 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
