The Federal Republic of Eastern-States is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Antonin Gyula with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.48 billion Eastracians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Budapest. The average income tax rate is 73.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Eastern-Statesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,589 trillion Forints a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 167,663 Forints, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.
Wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", schoolyard sandboxes resemble ashtrays due to the large number of cigarette butts, the face of President Antonin Gyula is a permanent feature of the Budapest skyline, and citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern-States's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.
Eastern-States is ranked 94,292nd in the world and 2nd in Official European Union for Most Stationary, with 482.8370520952 days.
