The Republic of Estreen is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Percy M Hanson with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.891 billion Estreenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drinpalm. The average income tax rate is 58.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Estreenian economy, worth 398 trillion Esis 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 Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 102,401 Esis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

3D printed organs are a breath of new life for the sick and elderly, all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, anyone who takes out the recycling expects a tax break, and the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Estreen's national animal is the Snow-Tailed Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Estreen is ranked 61,209^th in the world and 1^st in The River Fel Sphere of Influence for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,492.85 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
