The Democratic Republic of Estellan is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by President Isaiah King with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 930 million Estellanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Constellatia. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Estellanian economy, worth 92.5 trillion Sinixes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 99,474 Sinixes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many marriages go virtually unconsummated, athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, and saying 'Hi Guys' to a mixed gender group of people at work is a fireable offense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Estellan's national animal is the Estellanian Short-Snouted Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Estellan is ranked 15,612^th in the world and 291^st in Europe for Most Developed, scoring 86.8 on the Human Development Index.
