The United Socialist States of Eastern State is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Marc East with an iron fist, and renowned for its enforced nudity, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 26.141 billion Eastern Stateans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Easttown. The average income tax rate is 58.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Eastern Statean economy, worth 426 trillion Yen a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 16,308 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public nudity is compulsory, Eastern State has designated Easttown as its capital city, Marc East has just been declared ruler of Eastern State in an international press conference, and Easterism has been named as Eastern State's national religion. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern State's national animal is the panda and its national religion is Easterism.

Eastern State is ranked 216,228^th in the world and 2^nd in ndi for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring zero on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
