The Federal republic of Union of Estovakia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Niclas with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed population of 7.4 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Directus. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, the world outside is only known of in folklore, multiple polls have christened the newly-formed Filibuster Committee as "the least efficient government bureaucracy", and mountain lions are considered a delicacy. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Union of Estovakia's national animal is the mountain lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Atheism, and its currency is the Akian gold.

Union of Estovakia is ranked 2,413th in Balder and 107,273rd in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 10 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
