The Republic of Ostellan is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Johnathan Beckett with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.537 billion Ostellanians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avellan. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Ostellanian economy, worth 965 trillion Aurens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 147,740 Aurens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, referenda are held for every conceivable government action, Brancalandian Brie isn't available anywhere in Ostellan, and diaper sales are up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ostellan's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.
Ostellan is ranked 183,370th in the world and 130th in The Western Isles for Most Pro-Market, scoring 37.33 on the Rand Index.
