The Grand Republic of Ostlantis is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Princeps Soleil Estiegne with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.115 billion Ostlanteans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grifentia. The average income tax rate is 71.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ostlantic economy, worth 825 trillion Ostmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 161,460 Ostmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government has legalised small-scale capitalism, there's a lot of smoke from the nation's "green economy", wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, and corrupt officials have adopted the greater good as their catchphrase. Crime is totally unknown. Ostlantis's national animal is the Griffon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Artorianity.

Ostlantis is ranked 261,577^th in the world and 1,726^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.8 kickbacks per hour.
