The Republic of Ostroban is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Reinhard von Lohengramm with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, humorless population of 8.632 billion Ostrobanians 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 prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ostyn. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ostrobanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,499 trillion osts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 289,614 osts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts, and mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ostroban's national animal is the Seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ostroban is ranked 264,742nd in the world and 1,195th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -8.49 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
