The Kingdom of Estande is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Filipe Gonçalves de Sá with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.021 billion Estandér are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Estrada. The average income tax rate is 44.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Estandér economy, worth 354 trillion escudoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,274 escudoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, sections of the police receive paramilitary training, grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps, and the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms. 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, and its national religion is Sanguis Catholicism.

Estande is ranked 19,282^nd in the world and 573^rd in The East Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 10.55 bananas ingested per day.
