The Republic of Eastoria is a huge, safe nation, ruled by President Robert Brunner with a fair hand, and notable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 893 million Eastorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Klerksburg. The average income tax rate is 42.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Eastorian economy, worth 54.0 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,466 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Diplomacy is a foreign concept to Eastorians, the government invades its allies more than its enemies, pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on Eastorian roads, and anyone interested in the stock market is investigated. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastoria's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eastoria is ranked 121,474^th in the world and 995^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,593.25 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
