The People's Republic of Vostmark is a large, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 169 million Vostmarkians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Vostmarkian economy, worth 11.8 trillion Markas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 69,647 Markas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Vostmarkian weed picker are way up, and official government guidance encourages binge behaviors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vostmark's national animal is the Potato.

Vostmark is ranked 292,227^th in the world and 2^nd in Mazedornia for Largest Populations, with 169 million capita.
