The Democratic Republic of Estellan is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Astrid Karlsen with a fair hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, rampant corporate plagiarism, and digital currency. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 7.584 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 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Estellanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,094 trillion Sinixes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 144,334 Sinixes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Estellanian tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, a government program is underway to revitalize Estellan's beaches, gardeners must genetically test weeds for unique traits before digging them up, and young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts. 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 3,356^th in the world and 66^th in Europe for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 64.41 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
