The Dominion of Eastern Healthists is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The Prime Foodie with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.11 billion Eastern Healthists are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Underground Citadel City. The average income tax rate is 16.8%.

The frighteningly efficient East-Healtherstian economy, worth 335 trillion Cowries a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 159,216 Cowries, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

A newly discovered small mammal's name translates into East-Healtherstian as 'your finger, you fool', calling dibs is an unalienable right, the name of the "Butcher of Bigtopia" adorns shirts across Eastern Healthists, and treaties are taken to be mere rules of thumb. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern Healthists's national animal is the Black Labrador, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eastern Healthists is ranked 3,956^th in the world and 55^th in the Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 132,468.17 Standard Monetary Units.
