The Republic of Ostfriesland is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, compulsory military service, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical population of 905 million Ostfrieslandians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ostfrieslandian economy, worth 98.0 trillion Ducats a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,305 Ducats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 310,085 per year while the poor average 30,114, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

Safety warnings are prohibited lest they give people ideas, black tea is only available on the black market, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, and former televangelists are often seen begging skateboarders for donations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ostfriesland's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ostfriesland is ranked 70,272^nd in the world and 484^th in Novaya Zemlya for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,440.18 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
