The Matriarchy of Ostavaria is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Kristina Omi with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 5.766 billion Ostavarians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rippia. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ostavarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,060 trillion Osters a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 184,003 Osters, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, and children are raised bilingual from an early age. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ostavaria's national animal is the Porpoise, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ostavaria is ranked 7,176^th in the world and 167^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 12,997.04 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
