The Constitutional Monarchy of Ostedia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by King Ottakar III with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate, devout population of 11.15 billion Ostedians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orason. The average income tax rate is 65.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ostedian economy, worth a remarkable 1,460 trillion Rellescules a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 130,971 Rellescules, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, Ostedia has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, and construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ostedia's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Tribianism.

Ostedia is ranked 264,497th in the world and 8,376th in Osiris for Fattest Citizens, with 6.97 Obesity Rate.
