The Kingdom of Estande is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Filipe Gonçalves de Sá with an even hand, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 6.75 billion Estandérs are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Estrada. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Estandér economy, worth 735 trillion escudoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,033 escudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's been a banner year for local vexillology, urbanites battle to the death for penthouse apartments, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Estande after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, and politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Estande's national animal is the estandér eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Estande is ranked 26,304th in the world and 661st in The East Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 75.08 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
