The People's Republic of Vostmark is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 357 million Vostmarkians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rotteburg. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vostmarkian economy, worth 28.4 trillion Markas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 79,536 Markas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Religious figures have been banned from public holidays to make them more multicultural, politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, every workday begins with group therapy, and ersatz chicken has left the nation's citizens with a bad taste in their mouths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vostmark's national animal is the Potato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vostmark is ranked 56,340^th in the world and 6^th in Mazedornia for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.71 percentage of bribes refused.
