The Kingdom of Estande is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Afonso Rodrigo Ramos with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, devout population of 13.161 billion Estandérs 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.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Estrada. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Estandér economy, worth a remarkable 1,956 trillion escudoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,668 escudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All facts are created equal, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, the government airlifts sacrificial lambs, and citizens tint their front windows to avoid starring in the 'TV Detector Patrol Unit' documentary. 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 26,480^th in the world and 308^th in The East Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 148,668.6 Standard Monetary Units.
