The Matriarchy of Ostavaria is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Kristina Omi with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 5.826 billion Ostavarians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rippia. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Ostavarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,062 trillion Osters a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,316 Osters, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Michelin-star chefs are being called on to prepare menus for six-year-olds, a historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation, shopkeepers use microscopes to verify the authenticity of banknotes, and faking deafness is the only way to guarantee a holiday in the nation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ostavaria's national animal is the Porpoise, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ostavaria is ranked 102,640^th in the world and 2,069^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 14.81 flags saluted per person per day.
