The Republic of Oestea is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 468 million Oesteans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crystalport. The average income tax rate is 53.5%.

The powerhouse Oestean economy, worth 35.7 trillion Azals a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 76,378 Azals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Most voters struggle to name the Leader of the Opposition, schoolchildren learn an R-rated version of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes", aides are afraid to ask if Leader wants a cup of tea or coffee, and the horniness of the great-horned Osprey is considered a national priority. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Oestea's national animal is the Osprey, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Oestea is ranked 196,619th in the world and 2,418th in the West Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -73.82 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
