The Marmozucyamuniz of Ostasien is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Executive Visu Garost with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, public floggings, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.342 billion Ostasiens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karamaz. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ostasien economy, worth 808 trillion Moneik'rs a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 110,173 Moneik'rs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 332,010 per year while the poor average 28,502, a ratio of 11.6 to 1.

Children need to wear helmets and safety harnesses before mounting a carousel horse, government policy is dictated by Children of Kat'herina, the derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun, and public shaming has become the favoured form of punishment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ostasien's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Children of Kat'herina.

Ostasien is ranked 146,635^th in the world and 26^th in Zero for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 31.96 Effective Tax Rate.
