The Holy and Venerable Horde of Ostroeuropa is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Grand Inquisitor-Khan Prance Rayder with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 37.42 billion Ostroeuropans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Canterlot. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Ostroeuropan economy, worth an astonishing 12,384 trillion Ration Shekels 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. 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 an amazing 330,946 Ration Shekels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, the national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, sausages are seldom seen in the supermarket, and terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors. Crime is totally unknown. Ostroeuropa's national animal is the Griffin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Discordianism.
Ostroeuropa is ranked 9,609th in the world and 5th in Declansburg for Most Corrupt Governments, with 158.75 kickbacks per hour.
