The Democratic Republic of Eastorias is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Rick Das with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The cynical population of 3.835 billion Eastoriasians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Eastoria. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eastoriasian economy, worth 554 trillion Eastros 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 144,558 Eastros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children, battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, sexuality-questioning teenagers are placed in locked rooms with dirty magazines and lewd posters, and picnickers are lucky if a few wasps are the only animals that trouble them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastorias's national animal is the Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Eastorias is ranked 1,034^th in the world and 28^th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 88.44 law-abiding acts per hour.
