The Dictatorship of Ostreich1 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.533 billion Ostreiches are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Evdilos. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The powerhouse Ostreichian economy, worth a remarkable 1,042 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 90,407 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 349,105 per year while the poor average 16,079, a ratio of 21.7 to 1.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, Ostreichian athletes are close to breaking the 2 minute mile and the 16 meter long jump, chrome-clad space marines are such stuff that dreams are made on, and ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Ostreichian pirates. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Ostreich1's national animal is the ostrich, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ostrichism.

Ostreich1 is ranked 120,950^th in the world and 12^th in Kerbin for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,595.91 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
