The Holy and Venerable Horde of Ostroeuropa is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Grand Inquisitor-Khan Prance Rayder with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 33.724 billion Ostroeuropans 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, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Canterlot. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ostroeuropan economy, worth an astonishing 11,147 trillion Ration Shekels 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. 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 an amazing 330,544 Ration Shekels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun, road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, nations across the world are quick to praise Grand Inquisitor-Khan Prance Rayder's good looks and intellectual prowess, and citizens know never to accept cookies from strangers. Crime is totally unknown. Ostroeuropa's national animal is the Griffin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Discordianism.

Ostroeuropa is ranked 55,472^nd in the world and 82^nd in Declansburg for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,750.75 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
