The Constitutional Monarchy of Ostermark Prussia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Wilhelm III with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.223 billion Prussians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ostermark Prussian economy, worth 435 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 195,752 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, and the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ostermark Prussia's national animal is the Black Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ostermark Prussia is ranked 148,861st in the world and 109th in Corsair for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,012.98 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
