The Principality of Ostseekustia is a large, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 126 million Ostseeküstens are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 9.4%.

The Ostseeküste economy, worth 8.26 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,571 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Parking's carefree without parking car fees, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, public enemies often walk home with spotless garments and crime records, and kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Ostseekustia's national animal is the Arctic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ostseekustia is ranked 307,242^nd in the world and 842^nd in Europe for Largest Black Market, with 10.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
