The Constitutional Monarchy of Ostonives is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Macron with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and compulsory military service. The democratic, devout population of 2.853 billion Ostonivesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. The average income tax rate is 39.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Ostonivesian economy, worth 93.0 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 32,583 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, and old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ostonives's national animal is the horse and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Ostonives is ranked 169,513^th in the world and 3,167^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,245.54 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
