The Federal State of Ostrovskiy is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dina Goldstein with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.34 billion Ostrovskians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alkira. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Ostrovskian economy, worth a remarkable 2,305 trillion velsons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 203,329 velsons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Meat-eating is frowned upon, busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets, workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, and the government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ostrovskiy's national animal is the moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ostrovskiy is ranked 344,018th in the world and 123rd in The Union of Democratic States for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -13.33 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
