The Harmonic Radiance of Ostlantis is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Princeps Soleil Estiegne with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.934 billion Ostlanteans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Veisopolis. The average income tax rate is 45.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ostlantean economy, worth 218 trillion ostmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 113,058 ostmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Ostlanteans, money can't buy love but mercy is entirely negotiable, Princeps Soleil Estiegne's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army, and the rich and poor vomit into separate bags. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ostlantis's national animal is the stallion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Primeval Truth.

Ostlantis is ranked 265,193^rd in the world and 607^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Black Market, with 85.3 billion Standard Monetary Units.
