The Royaume of Estorga is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Felipe de Estorga with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 14.116 billion estorguianoes are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Education and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bruselas. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Estorgan economy, worth a remarkable 2,418 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 171,296 euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 498,971 per year while the poor average 46,493, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, tough diplomacy is often best handled with a nutcracker, anyone with a tin cup can stop by the welfare office to have it filled with coins, and five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Estorga's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Estorga is ranked 282,968th in the world and 53rd in Union Mundial for Most Cultured, scoring 56 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
