The Borderlands of Eastland Federation is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Uldin with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.14 billion Eastland Federationians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Otuken. The average income tax rate is 63.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Eastland Federationian economy, worth 73.5 trillion tsats a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,439 tsats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, the nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles, employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning, and the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastland Federation's national animal is the Gray Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eastland Federation is ranked 67,173^rd in the world and 56^th in Kantrias for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,650.23 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
