The Constitutional Monarchy of Eistalia is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 484 million Eistalians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Königsfeld. The average income tax rate is 41.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Eistalian economy, worth 47.7 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,587 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Nations around the region are recognising Gingerbeard as the new leader of Brasilistan, there are no more heroes any more, selling bombs to terrorists has become government policy, and drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eistalia's national animal is the Snowy Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eistalia is ranked 44,239th in the world and 513th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
