The Swan-Diving Economy of Eestiball is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by God-Emperor Jerry with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, enslaved workforce, and exploding hoverboards. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.575 billion Brits are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tallinn. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.3%.

The frighteningly efficient British economy, worth a remarkable 1,145 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 133,606 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 767,890 per year while the poor average 11,167, a ratio of 68.8 to 1.

Bemused schoolkids colour in their favourite quadratic equations with crayons, minefields are being deployed along the border to discourage potential emigrants from trying to leave, charity distribution sites are regularly raided by the police, and the nation's new flagship trading company deals exclusively in things no one wants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eestiball's national animal is the wolf and its national religion is Bad American Transit.

Eestiball is ranked 138,503rd in the world and 2nd in Legion of the Regionless for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 695.89 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
