The Republic of Eastoria is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Michelle Schreiner with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 5.98 billion Eastorians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leskovac. The average income tax rate is 41.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eastorian economy, worth 627 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,907 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

A century of peace does not preclude peace negotiations, the clergy of Roman Catholicism remains a single-sex institution, civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, and vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Eastorian mussels the biggest in Europe. Crime is totally unknown. Eastoria's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Eastoria is ranked 25,692^nd in the world and 370^th in Europe for Most Developed, scoring 84.69 on the Human Development Index.
