The Republic of Vostralia III is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical population of 581 million Vostralia IIIians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 23.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Vostralia IIIian economy, worth 26.5 trillion National Default Credits a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,624 National Default Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Strip mining of rare earth metals is up while back problems are down, every child sleeps with a gun to protect themselves from the monster under the bed, protests are prohibited from blocking traffic, and annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vostralia III's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vostralia III is ranked 153,097^th in the world and 2,307^th in eta for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 371.6 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
