The Federal Republic of Vostovica is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Martinnen with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, ban on automobiles, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.681 billion Vostovicans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anterograd. The average income tax rate is 63.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vostovican economy, worth 452 trillion Chits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 168,954 Chits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Brain-freeze has taken on a new meaning, guilt tripped foreigners heavily dictate child hunger in Vostovica, only the richest get to see out of their windows, and commerce on Vostovican soil has entered foreign territory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vostovica's national animal is the cormorant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Vostovican Methodism.

Vostovica is ranked 303,973^rd in the world and 1,055^th in Talonia for Fattest Citizens, with 3.61 Obesity Rate.
