The Grand Duchy of Zostravia is a mid-sized, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 97 million Zostravians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Spirituality, although Defense and Law & Order are also considered important, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.7%.

The very strong Zostravian economy, worth 5.74 trillion litas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 59,165 litas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 170,794 per year while the poor average 16,263, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

Government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, jaywalking will put an end to a family tree, the police double as repo men, and unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Zostravia's national animal is the stork, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Zostravia is ranked 274,273^rd in the world and 69^th in Divorced Nations of Earth for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
