The Federation of Ostio is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Daniel R Whitaker with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 1.888 billion Ostians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington DC. The average income tax rate is 85.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ostioan economy, worth 313 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 166,044 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth, only clowns with PhDs from clown college can advise President Daniel R Whitaker on Ostio's coulrophobia epidemic, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, and police officers find government bureaucracy more terrifying than most serial killers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ostio's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is First Amendment of the US Constitution.

Ostio is ranked 16,527^th in the world and 8^th in Ensio for Lowest Crime Rates, with 97.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
