The Kingdom of Ozstan is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Peter with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, daily referendums, and public floggings. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 15.985 billion Ozstanians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Perth. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ozstanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,325 trillion crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,485 crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gossip magazines have pictures of Peter sunbathing on the beach with political rivals, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, there's a mortuary next to every Ozstanian restaurant, and rare steaks seem even bluer now. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ozstan's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ozstan is ranked 5,299^th in the world and 250^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 59.47 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
