The Queendom of Estanu is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Cosmina Andrea II with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.399 billion Estanuans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harkald. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Estanuan economy, worth 966 trillion Dracs a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 178,944 Dracs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Weather forecasts regularly cover meteor showers, the blind lead the blind in social welfare, worship days have replaced sick days, and mysterious men apprehend suspected Good Samaritans under the cover of night. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Estanu's national animal is the Stalker, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Estanuan Catholic.

Estanu is ranked 41,124^th in the world and 5^th in The Draco Sector for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 57,978.08 Standard Monetary Units.
