The Republic of Overstrand is a massive, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning beaver population. The hard-working, democratic population of 4.039 billion Overstrandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 13.7%.

The Overstrandian economy, worth 229 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 56,719 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low. Overstrand's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Overstrand is ranked 140,887^th in the world and 4,767^th in Balder for Most Armed, with 0.33 weapons per person.
