The Republic of Eastoria is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Luke Koenig with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.012 billion Eastorians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leskovac. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Eastorian economy, worth 123 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,537 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire, depression sinks in after each election when voters realize they are stuck with these people for years, public incontinence is a growing problem amongst the nation's women, and the nation grinds to a halt on the anniversary of every marginally noteworthy event. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.
Eastoria is ranked 70,102nd in the world and 743rd in Europe for Most Secular, with 18.75 Atheism Rate.
