The Empire of Eastorcieland is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its national health service, complete lack of prisons, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.203 billion Eastorcielandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baldwin. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Eastorcielandian economy, worth 779 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,629 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, literally voiceless people are unable to protest when food and water are denied to them, and government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors. Crime is totally unknown. Eastorcieland's national animal is the bearcat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eastorcieland is ranked 35,192^nd in the world and 36^th in Declansburg for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
