The Republic of Ostellan is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Adrian Ryne with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 7.239 billion Ostellanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vesland. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ostellanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,112 trillion Aurens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,715 Aurens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Vesland as a backdrop, tourists visit Ostellan to mass-moon Ostellanian politicians, teachers are routinely tested to keep their jobs, and rumor has it that President Adrian Ryne has won three lotteries in a row. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ostellan's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ostellan is ranked 79,357th in the world and 66th in The Western Isles for Most Stationary, with 609.43098496392 days.
