The Republic of Estam Nyce is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical, devout population of 3.057 billion Estam Nyceans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The enormous, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 63.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Estam Nycean economy, worth 141 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,443 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom, falcons are considered a delicacy, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, and military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Estam Nyce's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Estam Nyce is ranked 289,567th in the world and 5,473rd in Artificial Solar System for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -10.58 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
