The Estral Republic of Aizcona is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jenderrega with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed population of 10.272 billion Estrans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Estra. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aizconan economy, worth a remarkable 1,744 trillion Txans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 169,843 Txans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Beaches are empty as the shark population multiplies exponentially, colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, and a new Brasilistani government has become a daily report on the main evening news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aizcona's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aizcona is ranked 4,337^th in the world and 9^th in The Western Isles for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 600.61 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
