The United States of Ostio is a massive, genial nation, ruled by President Daniel R Whitaker with an even hand, and notable for its triple-decker prams, sprawling nuclear power plants, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 1.809 billion Ostians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington DC. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ostioan economy, worth 300 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 166,196 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teens are voting on which C-List pop star will be next to be evicted from the opera house, children need to wear helmets and safety harnesses before mounting a carousel horse, a degree in President Daniel R Whitaker Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers, and euthanasia is legal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ostio's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is First Amendment of the US Constitution.

Ostio is ranked 19,529^th in the world and 16^th in Ensio for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,397.36 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
