The Rite of Spring of The Eostre Hare is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Easter Hare with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, devout population of 4.035 billion Eostre Hares are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Burrow. The average income tax rate is 50.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Eostre Hare economy, worth 187 trillion Eostre Eggs 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Book Publishing, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 46,534 Eostre Eggs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Nervous homeowners have been blamed for rising death rates amongst carol singers and locksmiths, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, and the carbon tax fund gladly supplies warm blankets when the poor can't pay their heating bills. Crime is well under control. The Eostre Hare's national animal is the Bunny, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Fecundity.

The Eostre Hare is ranked 198,137th in the world and 3rd in Easter for Safest, scoring 42.45 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
