The Grand Duchy of Ostwyzia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Ferdinand Kralio with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, public floggings, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.559 billion Ostwyzians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coel. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The all-consuming Ostwyzian economy, worth 167 trillion Ostwyzian Pretiums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 107,552 Ostwyzian Pretiums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 369,619 per year while the poor average 22,949, a ratio of 16.1 to 1.

Citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, meat prices are soaring as the farming industry struggle under government-imposed restrictions, and the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Ostwyzia's national animal is the Woodpecker, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Secular.

Ostwyzia is ranked 164,368^th in the world and 119^th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Highest Poor Incomes, with 22,949.29 Standard Monetary Units.
