The Empire of Legion Estaroth 48 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.578 billion Legion Estaroth 48ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 65.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Legion Estaroth 48ian economy, worth 136 trillion kronor a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,760 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has an international reputation for compassion, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, and Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Legion Estaroth 48's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Legion Estaroth 48 is ranked 206,924^th in the world and 146^th in Rosartemis for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.37 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
