The Democratic Republic of Estellan is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Astrid Karlsen with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, unlimited-speed roads, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 7.51 billion Estellanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Constellatia. The average income tax rate is 93.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Estellanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,070 trillion Sinixes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 142,490 Sinixes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

History textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, employers are keenest on employees who lack family values, and foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies. Crime is totally unknown. Estellan's national animal is the Estellanian Short-Snouted Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Estellan is ranked 10,443^rd in the world and 167^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,951.68 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
