The Republic of Legion Estaroth 17 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.811 billion Legion Estaroth 17ians 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration and Law & Order also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.4%.

The Legion Estaroth 17ian economy, worth 228 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 81,195 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, teachers regularly paddle unruly students, warning signs caution Legion Estaroth 17ians where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', and top-shelf magazines feature risqué centrefold spreads of ladies' wrists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Legion Estaroth 17's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Legion Estaroth 17 is ranked 48,924^th in the world and 29^th in Rosartemis for Most Extreme, scoring 31.92 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
