The People's Republic of Ostania (
Overview[]
Despite sustaining heavy damages in the two wars with Westalis, Ostania has largely maintained its wartime policies, even while struggling against the tides of modernity.[1] The country promotes its open politics and rapidly developing economy to foreign countries, but this is strongly motivated by propaganda. Its security organization openly promotes the arrest of those who spread unfavorable information and facts to other countries, and free speech is strictly controlled. However, as long as one does not transmit information that is detrimental to the state or embarrass it, the people of the country can live normal lives with a high level of security and can freely take up jobs and study, depending on their abilities.[1]
History[]
Military propaganda in Eden Academy
Going back many years, Ostania has always had enmity with its neighboring country of Westalis (possibly due to cultural and political differences) and eventually decided to wage war against it. During this first East-West war, even students at Eden Academy appeared to be taking mandatory military training courses, and students who seemingly boycotted them could have been punished for sedition. Ostania continued its path for war, and two and a half years later, soldiers and military vehicles could be seen roaming around the streets of Berlint. Around this time, the parliament decided to lower the minimum draft age by two years, and even teachers were deferred from being drafted into the war. Meanwhile, anti-Westalis propaganda was being spread across Ostania through its radio programs and likely through other means.
As the war continued, Ostania participated in many battles, with some being held over the Southern Islands. Many lives would be lost during these battles, and Ostania and Westalis would eventually stop fighting after taking heavy tolls. At some point after the first war, the two countries agreed to a pact to end conflicts between them. However, shortly before the invasion of Westalis, the Ostanian Foreign Minister was reported to be reconsidering the pact. While the actual start of the second East-West war is still unclear, the initial invasion of Westalis's eastern provinces by the Ostanian Army with the bombing of Luwen appears to be what started it.[2]
Animal experimentation
The war was long and brutal, claiming more lives of soldiers and innocent civilians. During this time, Ostania began human experimentations[3] and even had a project funded by the National Unity Party to produce highly intelligent animals for military purposes, knowledge that is currently being kept secret from the public. Thanks to the efforts of key figures like Colonel Erik Zacharis meeting with Westalian diplomats, a truce was achieved and the war ended. With the new government taking over from the National Unity Party, activities like the experiments would be stopped.
Politics[]
By the time Luwen was invaded by Ostania and thus starting the war, the National Unity Party, a hardliner against Westalis, was the ruling political party of Ostania. The government was led by Prime Minister Chapman, who was later succeeded by Donovan Desmond.[4] By the end of the war, the National Unity Party was deposed from the ruling position and replaced by a dovish party to be in charge of the state administration, resulting in a truce with Westalis. Despite this new age of peace, tensions between the countries were still hot and thus began a new conflict in the form of a cold war.
Ostanian Foreign Minister Windsor (right) and Westalian Foreign Minister Brantz's (left) meeting to improve their diplomatic relations
Over ten years after the war, Ostania appears to be taking a conciliatory approach with Westalis, with groups like the Nationalist Party appearing to work toward this path. Foreign ministers from both countries have also made official meetings with one another for peace talks, intending to normalize diplomatic relations. However, many Ostanian citizens do not seek reconciliation, leading to a situation where it is difficult to predict when their discontent will erupt.[1] Some high-ranking Ostanian officials have even gone as far as making unlawful restrictions on exports to Westalis[5] and blackmailing politicians supporting Westalis[6] due to anti-West values. From this tension, attempts to break the two countries' thin veneer of peace have been made, the most recent being by a group of isolationist student terrorists in Berlint.
Many people have defected from Ostania to Westalis, with there even being rumors that people in the southern regions of Ostania have been using the word "picnic" as a code for defecting to Westalis through a third country.[7] Those who have gone from Westalis to Ostania typically go to see their families or pursue a mission of some sort.[8]
Education[]
- Main article: Eden Academy
There are many schools to teach the youth in Ostania, like Fontaine Academy[9], but none are as famous and influential as Eden Academy, a highly prestigious private school.
For post-secondary, the only known schools are Berlint University and Berlint University of Education, with the latter school having a teaching program for students aspiring to become teachers.
Military[]
Ostania's army is called the Ostanian People's Army.[10] Like Westalian Intelligence, Ostania has its own intelligence agency and may have more than just one.[8] One of these agencies may be the Military Intelligence Division, which Colonel Erik Zacharis was part of.
Women's Combat Unit[]
The Women's Combat Unit fighting on the front
Over forty years ago, the officer training program did not allow women in their ranks. They could instead join the army as part of the Woman's Defense Auxiliary, but would not be sent near the front lines.[11] However, as the war dragged on and grew more serious as more soldiers died in battle, the higher-ups of the military decided to deploy the women in the Defense Auxiliary to address the loss of morale at the front. Despite only being given basic combat training, the women were placed in a special group to send to the front, the Women's Combat Unit, which fought as part of the Ostanian army's 99th Regiment.[12] During a battle to break through the Westalian army's encirclement in the city of Minth, the Women's Combat Unit were wiped out, with some even being killed for attempting to flee. While the battle ended in Ostania's victory, the Women's Combat Unit's loss was felt by the soldier's loved ones and were used as propaganda for the war against Westalis. One of the soldiers from the unit who is known to have survived was Martha Marriott.[13]
State Security Service[]
- Main article: State Security Service
The State Security Service, also known as the Secret Police, is the primary security and counterintelligence organization of Ostania.
Underworld[]
Ostania's underworld consists of all kinds of groups and individuals, from smuggling rings and criminal organizations to informants and counterfeiters. There are also black markets where one can find interesting illegal developments, like former test subject animals.
Leonardo Hapoon, the current Gretcher crime family head
According to the Shopkeeper, the Gretcher crime family managed Ostania's underworld in an honorable fashion for generations. After the war with Westalis, the family lent their aid to the war victims during a food shortage with the black market they ran. However, in a recent incident, the family head Gram Gretcher and his sons were killed in an internal dispute. In the aftermath, the organization was usurped by Leonardo Hapoon, a man who gained his wealth by befriending pro-war extremists through arms dealing. The last surviving members of the Gretcher family, Gram's daughter Olka and her son, fled to a foreign country to seek asylum shortly after Hapoon came into power. For unexplained reasons, Hapoon attempted to have the two killed by placing a 400,000 dalc bounty on both of them. While many hitmen in and out of Ostania gathered to fulfill this task, their efforts were thwarted by assassins from Garden protecting the Gretchers.
Garden[]
- Main article: Garden
Garden is a secret assassination organization in Ostania. Their existence is unknown to all, with only a certain few, even in the State Security Service, aware of them.[14]
Currency[]
The currency used in Ostania is dalc (ダルク, daruku?), commonly represented as Đ, and pent (ペント, pento?) coins. 100 pents is equivalent to 1 dalc. 1 dalc is also equivalent to 320 Japanese yen (or 2.20 US dollars) in today's exchange rate.[15] The one-dalc bills are pink banknotes with a portrait of a certain unknown bearded man on the obverse side and a blue building and a blue flower symbol on the reverse side.[16] The one-hundred-dalc bills are blue banknotes with a portrait of the same man on the obverse.[3] This currency is also used in Westalis.[2]

|---|---|---|
| Obverse | Reverse | |
| 10 pents |

|
| 1 dalc | 
|
|
| 100 dalc | 
|
|
Note: Although the currency is named "dalc" in the English translation, it is written "dalk" on the bills.
Culture[]
There are a variety of entertainment facilities in Ostania where the government is highly restrictive, as if no citizens would complain if there was food and entertainment. Many are of a high cultural standard and can be enjoyed by both children and adults. On the other hand, there is also a deceptively obvious fact that business tycoons and underground dwellers gather here to hold illegal gambling events where huge sums of money are at stake.[17]
Berlint in Love on TV
A drama called Berlint in Love is popular in Ostania, as even elementary first-years know about the series. Entertainment is more developed in Westalis, so there are so many things that go in and out of style.[15]
Running through the city of Berlint are many streetcars, which are the primary mode of transportation for citizens who do not own a car.[17] Below the streets is the subway system, which passengers like Yor and Yuri take when going home from work.[18][19] When going long distances to other regions, travelers have the option of taking the train.[6][20]
Performing Arts[]
Despite its oppressive state, Ostania has an advanced art scene. One of the more popular arts in the country is opera singing, which happens to be a tradition for those in Ostania's high society. One of Ostania's most renowned opera singers is Jonas Wellman, whose fame reaches even beyond Ostania.
Ballet performance
Another noteworthy art is ballet. Around 49 years ago, there was a prominent ballet troupe in Ostania, the Marlov Ballet Company.[21] However, they disbanded during the first war after 17 of its members, including its principal ballerina Johanna, were killed in an air raid while supporting a war-torn Anber.[22] After the first war, the postwar reconstruction charity events were organized where Martha performed ballet on the theater stage.[23]
Regions[]
- Münk (ミュンク, Myunku?)[24]
- Eastern Nielsberg (ニールバーグ 東の方, Nīrubāgu Higashi no Hō?), an eastern region.[25]
- Shellbury (シェルベリー, Sheruberī?), a northwestern region.[26]
- Bayan (バイアン, Baian?), a region that appears to be quite far from the city of Berlint.[27]
- Covenia (コヴェニア, Kovenia?)[28]
- Frigis (フリジス, Furijisu?)[16]
- Turindia (スリンジア, Surinjia?)[29], a region in which one of the schools got bombed during the first East-West war.
- Anber (アンバー, Anbā?)[29], a region that was affected by the first East-West war.

Trivia[]
- Ostania's name originates from the word "Ost" in German, meaning east. It also appears to bear similarity to Austria's native name, Österreich.
- Ostania is based on the communist German Democratic Republic (East Germany) during the Berlin Cold War era, with the State Security Service heavily mimicking the name and behavior of the Stasi.
- The dalc bills greatly resemble East Germany's 100 Mark banknote, using the portrait of Karl Marx.
- The 10 pent coin seen in Episode 1 greatly resembles the 10 pfenning coin used by West Germany from 1948 until 1990 and later the unified Germany from 1990 until the adoption of the euro in 2002. The only differences between the coins are the pent coin's title and the star seen on its top-center of its observe side, which is also on the reverse side of the coin.
- The locations are also references to real-life places:
