The Archangel of Ostro 2 is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.111 billion Ostro 2ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 39.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Ostro 2ian economy, worth 824 trillion rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,545 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Private businesses are paving paradises to put up parking lots, Ostro 2ian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, turtles with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, and school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ostro 2's national animal is the turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ostro 2 is ranked 252,475th in the world and 162nd in Stygian Abbey for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.28 percentage of bribes refused.
