The UDS RPing of Ostrovskiy is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dina Goldstein with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.757 billion Ostrovskians 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 enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alkira. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ostrovskian economy, worth a remarkable 1,961 trillion velsons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 201,056 velsons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, ministers browse Alright! magazine for fashion tips, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Ostrovskiy's radio stations, and polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ostrovskiy's national animal is the moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ostrovskiy is ranked 2,201st in the world and 6th in The Union of Democratic States for Safest, scoring 146.05 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
