The Royal Kingdom of Costa Estre is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Queen Beauty Aleena II with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 24.077 billion Estrenians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marina Bay. The average income tax rate is 7.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Costa Estrenian economy, worth a remarkable 9,418 trillion estranus dimes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 391,169 estranus dimes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, matryoshka dolls resembling nested Death Stars are commonly sold, and Max Barry is this year's Miss Costa Estre. Crime is totally unknown. Costa Estre's national animal is the royal tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam.

Costa Estre is ranked 141,795^th in the world and 2,545^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 590.38 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
