The Republic of Eastoria is a huge, genial nation, ruled by President Luke Koenig with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 965 million Eastorians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leskovac. The average income tax rate is 50.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Eastorian economy, worth 57.1 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,210 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, businesses are forced to bring all work back within the nation's borders, the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, and citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory miniature radios. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastoria's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eastoria is ranked 126,324^th in the world and 785^th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 12.75 flags saluted per person per day.
