The Federal Republic of Osternia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Garrick Boone with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working population of 6.411 billion Osternians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eastport. The average income tax rate is 51.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Osternian economy, worth 713 trillion Osternian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,274 Osternian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

President Garrick Boone can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids, immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, and war vets look after war animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Osternia's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Osternia is ranked 34,330^th in the world and 2,023^rd in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,208.6 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
