The Eternal Empire of Ost-Scandinavia is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Imperator Frederik IV with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 6.239 billion East Scandinavians 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Køningsberg. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient East Scandinavian economy, worth a remarkable 1,160 trillion Florens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 186,016 Florens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Parents plead with their children to consider prostitution instead of philosophy, The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, ranchers are adept at mimicking wolf attacks, and starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ost-Scandinavia's national animal is the Peregrine falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ost-Scandinavia is ranked 53,140^th in the world and 100^th in Fifth Empire for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 19,430.36 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
