The No drama llama no spitting camels only fluffy soft alpacas 100% huggable snuggable floofs 🦙 of Esternial is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 30.484 billion alpacas have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Camelibet. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.0%.

The frighteningly efficient alpacan economy, worth a remarkable 4,605 trillion fleeces a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 151,088 fleeces, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 611,358 per year while the poor average 24,889, a ratio of 24.6 to 1.

Toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, teenagers are making eye contact with each other for the first time in years, a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, and indigenous tribal elders can be recognised by their designer watches and expensive suits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Esternial's national animal is the alpaca, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Floofeism.

Esternial is ranked 7,551st in the world and 467th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 106.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
