The State of Oestre is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.453 billion Oestreans 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 tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.9%.
The strong Oestrean economy, worth 991 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 44,138 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.
Voting is voluntary and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Oestre's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Oestre is ranked 44,941st in the world and 304th in Ancient Lands for Most Stationary, with 979.37091486888 days.
