The Commonwealth of E s t r u s is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, digital currency, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 278 million Rusyns are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyiv. The average income tax rate is 28.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse E s t r u sian economy, worth 21.2 trillion estrusian kroner a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,167 estrusian kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, E s t r u s has designated Kyiv as its capital city, life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, and uploading purple prose to social media earns a place on a government watchlist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. E s t r u s's national animal is the lynx, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

E s t r u s is ranked 62,745^th in the world and 664^th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
