The Commonwealth of Estmand is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Grand Marshal Skye Windstock with a fair hand, and notable for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 10.447 billion Estmandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, 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 2.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Estmandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,784 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 266,525 e-zlats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, the writing style of religious hymns often changes mid-stanza, and a flying elephant and Grand Marshal Skye Windstock share the same nickname. 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 24,527th in the world and 23rd in Union of Christian Nations for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,971.41 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
