The Grand Nation of Ovstylap is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.384 billion Ovstylapians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ovstylapian economy, worth 847 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 157,388 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Debate rages over whether ground fish guts can be spread on fields, Ovstylapian doors require a Ph.D. to open, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, and children entertain themselves by throwing rocks through the windows of world-class museums. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ovstylap's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Ovstylap is ranked 270,349th in the world and 38th in Northern Utopia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 29.53 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
