The Commonwealth of Estmand is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Marshal Skye Windstock with an even hand, and notable for its aversion to nipples, complete lack of prisons, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 10.632 billion Estmandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Halcyon. The average income tax rate is 3.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Estmandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,873 trillion e-zlats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 270,233 e-zlats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, military spending is on the increase, every citizen is allowed exactly fifteen minutes of fame, and artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Estmand's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Estmand is ranked 4,257th in the world and 5th in Union of Christian Nations for Most Developed, scoring 95.67 on the Human Development Index.
