The United Rus' of E s t r u s is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Andriy Biletsky with an iron fist, and renowned for its vat-grown people, digital currency, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.615 billion Rusyns are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Law & Order, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyiv. The average income tax rate is 35.7%.

The frighteningly efficient E s t r u sian economy, worth 191 trillion estrusian kroner a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 118,359 estrusian kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Andriy Biletsky claims to be the epitome of family values, the public are free to vote for whomever the government wants in office, fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget, and teenage girls worry that they'll be unpopular if their skirts aren't short enough. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. E s t r u s's national animal is the lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

E s t r u s is ranked 171,843^rd in the world and 140^th in Fifth Empire for Most Extreme, scoring 17.32 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
