The State of Eastbridge is a titanic, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 13.207 billion Eastbridgeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.1%.

The strong Eastbridgean economy, worth 847 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 64,142 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 418,238 per year while the poor average 3,893, a ratio of 107 to 1.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, former customs officers are adjusting to their new lives as market stall traders, and Eastbridge has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Eastbridge's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Eastbridge is ranked 241,766^th in the world and 2^nd in Muscovy for Most Developed, scoring 51.8 on the Human Development Index.
