The Community of Ostsee is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical, devout population of 3.329 billion Ostseeans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 63.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Ostseean economy, worth 53.7 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 16,143 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
It can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ostsee's national animal is the Warg, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ostsee is ranked 144,043rd in the world and 5th in Kremlin for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 855.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
