The Realm of Ostarctica is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Andrew Michael Douglas with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.558 billion Titaneans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Andøya. The average income tax rate is 10.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Titanean economy, worth 304 trillion Latis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 54,729 Latis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, Andrew Michael Douglas is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, Ostarctica has designated New Andøya as its capital city, and Andrew Michael Douglas has just been declared ruler of Ostarctica in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ostarctica's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ostarctica is ranked 132,680^th in the world and 2^nd in North Alliance for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,238.27 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
