The Republic of Eastoria is a huge, safe nation, ruled by President Luke Koenig with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 990 million 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leskovac. The average income tax rate is 49.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Eastorian economy, worth 60.3 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,919 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, citizens finish cleaning up after the annual National Treasure Hunt just in time for the next one, children dream of becoming physicians and physicists, and even religious militants can be swayed by the power of #love. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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.

Eastoria is ranked 107,697^th in the world and 878^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 82.14 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
