The Matriarchy of Ostavaria is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kristina Omi with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.527 billion Ostavarians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large 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 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ostavarian economy, worth 211 trillion Osters a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 138,332 Osters, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tabloids coo over Kristina Omi's expected child, roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, and students do more community service than homework. Crime, especially youth-related, 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 259,975^th in the world and 12,237^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -186.43 on the Hayek Index.
