The Imperialist State of Estovlaka is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Albrecht III von Schaarloon with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 22.976 billion Estovlakans 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 93.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Estovlakan economy, worth a remarkable 2,852 trillion Estoes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 124,157 Estoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them, cave paintings are back in vogue, courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Estovlakans, and mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Estovlaka's national animal is the East German Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Estovlaka is ranked 2,899^th in the world and 8^th in Fifth Empire for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 10,548.41 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
