The Holy and Venerable Horde of Ostroeuropa is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Inquisitor-Khan Prance Rayder with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 37.171 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 12,301 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 330,946 Ration Shekels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, the national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, sausages are seldom seen in the supermarket, and terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors. 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 4,554th in the world and 6th in Declansburg for Most Cultured, scoring 175 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
