The Federation of Northern Estrian Islands is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Everfrost Super-Fan Hess with an even hand, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, vat-grown people, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 1.569 billion Northern Estrian Islanders 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uxfeld. The average income tax rate is 62.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Northern Estrian Islander economy, worth 175 trillion Estrian dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,545 Estrian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Estrian Islands's national animal is the cobra, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Everfrost.
