The Nomadic Peoples of The Esters is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its burgeoning purporoyo population. The hard-working, cynical population of 1.557 billion Esters 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 19.8%.

The Esterian economy, worth 68.3 trillion shinies a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 43,850 shinies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. The Esters's national animal is the purporoyo.

The Esters is ranked 201,989^th in the world and 445^th in Starlight for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
