The Free Republic of Ostelbia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Rosa Lehrer with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, complete lack of prisons, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.154 billion Ostelbianer 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hamburg. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Ostelbisch economy, worth a remarkable 1,028 trillion Marks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 167,052 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Anti-government web sites are springing up, bins outnumber trees in city parks, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, and crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed. Crime is totally unknown. Ostelbia's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
