The Commonwealth of Estraldea is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 8 million Estraldeàs have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 16.2%.
The Estraldean economy, worth 386 billion facturas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 48,368 facturas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is well under control. Estraldea's national animal is the horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Estraldea is ranked 134,228th in the world and 14th in Saint Helene for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,913.99 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
