The Grand Duchy of Estrosh is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed population of 4.042 billion Estroshians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Estroshia. The average income tax rate is 37.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Estroshian economy, worth 156 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,838 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nobody knows why the caged Osprey sings, Estrosh has designated Estroshia as its capital city, Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, and primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment Leader's hair. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Estrosh's national animal is the Osprey, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Estrosh is ranked 113,293^rd in the world and 2,805^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 13.85 flags saluted per person per day.
