The English Sleeper of Ostro 1 is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and strictly enforced bedtime. The cynical population of 4.563 billion Ostro 1ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 45.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Ostro 1ian economy, worth 322 trillion marks 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. 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 70,745 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, the breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Ostro 1, and new "Worker's Strike" laws set out who is allowed to strike a worker. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ostro 1's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Ostro 1 is ranked 130,123rd in the world and 104th in Ostros Puppet Storage Lol for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 862.28 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
