The Dominion of Eastern Healthists is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Prime Foodie with an iron fist, and notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.659 billion Eastern Healthists 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Underground Citadel City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.1%.

The frighteningly efficient East-Healtherstian economy, worth 614 trillion Cowries a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 167,873 Cowries, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Most believe 'tis better to give than to receive, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, and dancing with your first cousin is a misdemeanor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern Healthists's national animal is the Black Labrador, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eastern Healthists is ranked 44,441^st in the world and 281^st in the Pacific for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 5,802.16 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
