The Queendom of Estanu is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Cosmina Andrea II with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.394 billion Estanuans 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harkald. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Estanuan economy, worth 965 trillion Dracs a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 178,962 Dracs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The economy is green and the air is black, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, Dàguó is simultaneously dead and alive, and weather forecasts regularly cover meteor showers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Estanu's national animal is the Stalker, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Estanuan Catholic.

Estanu is ranked 54,661st in the world and 3rd in The Draco Sector for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 67.08 Effective Tax Rate.
