The Matriarchy of Ostavaria is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Kristina Omi with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory military service, and national health service. The compassionate, cheerful population of 5.85 billion Ostavarians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rippia. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Ostavarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,066 trillion Osters a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,315 Osters, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Michelin-star chefs are being called on to prepare menus for six-year-olds, a historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation, shopkeepers use microscopes to verify the authenticity of banknotes, and faking deafness is the only way to guarantee a holiday in the nation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ostavaria's national animal is the Porpoise, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ostavaria is ranked 6,865th in the world and 168th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 487.12 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
