Etymology
The etymology of the word "Eastarland" is not exactly known, but there are many versions, none of which has received universal recognition. The root "eas" and its variants "es" and "eis" admit different interpretations both. So, for example, there are consonant toponyms on the territory of Ykanjo "Estyrland"' and San Calia "Istlanau", known from the XI-XII centuries. According to some, the toponym is formed from the ancient name of the river Easta (Iestàu from east. Eisti "pour"). The feudal principality, through the lands of which this river flowed, eventually took a leading position and the name was extended to the entire state.
History
Geografy
Relief
The northern part of Eastarland is a low-lying plain formed during the Ice Age (North Eastarland Plain, lowest point Neuen Saffen, 6.31 m below sea level). The surface of the lowland has preserved traces of ancient glaciation - chains of low moraine ridges and hills. The western part of the lowland is occupied by swampy lowlands, the formation of which is caused by the subsidence of the platform. In the central part of the country, forest-covered foothills adjoin the lowlands from the south. The highest point is Jōrwin Mountain, 3243 m.
Rivers and lakes
A large number of rivers flow through the territory of Eastarland, the largest of which are: Osterkat, Killien, Goder. The largest lake in Eastarland is Gōeldehir, with an area of 1140 km² and a depth of 630 m. The lake is connected by a narrow Astiel strait in the west with the Amber Sea, and in the east with the Stober strait with the Castarilian Bay.
Climate
In general, the climate is temperate, maritime, characterized by cool summers and rather warm winters. The average temperature in July is + 16 ... + 17 ° C, in January - about + 2 ° C on the coast and slightly colder inland. The absolute maximum air temperature (+ 38.6 ° C) was recorded on August 10, 1954 in Drasau, the absolute minimum (−27.4 ° C) was recorded on January 29, 1962 in Litburg. In winter, when anticyclones arrive, the temperature drops below 0 ° C, snow falls, and channels and lakes are covered with ice. Although there is an average of 650 to 750 mm of precipitation per year, rarely a day goes by without rain. There are often fogs, sometimes it snows in winter. Truly extreme natural events (severe droughts, tornadoes, storms, severe frost or heat) are relatively rare.

Migration policy
After a series of terrorist acts in the world, the government has consistently tightened immigration laws. Anti-immigration measures have significantly reduced the inflow of certain categories of migrants to Eastarland. In particular, in 2018, 4198 entry permits for family reunification were issued, which is 70% less than in 2013, and 1038 people were granted political asylum (82.5% less). At the same time, over the period 2013-2018, the number of those who received a study visa increased from 10 to 28.4 thousand people (an increase of 2.8 times), and those who entered on a work visa - from 5.9 to 12.8 thousand people (an increase 100%). In 2019, the measures were further tightened - in particular, a point system was introduced for spouses of immigrants wishing to enter the country.
Economy
Industry
Extraction of iron and uranium ores, bauxite is carried out. Leading manufacturing industries are mechanical engineering, including automotive, electrical and electronic (TVs, washing machines, etc.), aviation, shipbuilding (tankers, sea ferries) and machine tools. Eastarland is one of the world's largest manufacturers of chemical and petrochemical products (including synthetic rubber, plastics, mineral fertilizers, pharmaceuticals and others), ferrous and non-ferrous (aluminum, lead and zinc) metals. Eastarlandian clothing and footwear, jewelry, cheeses are well known in the world market (about 700 varieties are produced).
Agriculture
Eastarland has a highly productive agriculture. It occupies a leading position in the world in terms of agricultural production, grain production, livestock products and milk. Eastarland is a land of predominantly small family farms. Agricultural production efficiency is very high. At the same time Eastarland lags behind in the average yield of corn and sugar beet. In the agro-industrial complex, agriculture plays a subordinate role.
Livestock breeding provides about 70% of marketable agricultural products. Cattle breeding is the main branch of animal husbandry, it provides more than 2/5 of all marketable agricultural products, with the main part being milk (about ¼). Pig breeding is in second place. The country's self-sufficiency in milk and beef systematically exceeds 100%, but in pork it is less than 4/5.
Dairy and beef cattle breeding is most typical for well-moistened coastal areas, rich in meadows and pastures, as well as for the periphery of urban agglomerations. Due to the rather cold winter, stall keeping is common. Pig breeding is developed everywhere, but especially in areas close to the ports of import of imported feed, areas of sugar beet, potato and fodder root crops cultivation. Broiler production, production of eggs, veal, and pig breeding are concentrated in large livestock farms, the location of which depends little on natural factors. There are much more fodder crops than food crops, since a large amount of fodder grains, especially corn, are imported. However, the country ranked (2014) seventh in the world in terms of wheat exports (8.2 million tons). Of great importance is the cultivation of fodder root crops (fodder beets, etc.), corn for green fodder and silage, alfalfa, clover and other fodder grasses. Of the oilseeds, the most important is rapeseed, the crops of which are more than 10 times higher than those of sunflower.

In areas with high natural soil fertility, the main crops are wheat, barley, maize and sugar beets. The poorer soils of the Northern Lowland and the middle-altitude mountains are traditionally used for sowing rye, oats, potatoes and natural forage crops. The traditional nature of Eastarlandian agriculture has significantly changed technological progress. Today, the so-called light soils are valued more, due to their suitability for machine cultivation, using artificial fertilizers; for example, corn is now widely cultivated in the Northern Lowlands, where it replaces potatoes.
Viticulture surpasses, in marketable products, fruit growing and vegetable growing combined. Vineyards are located mainly in the valleys of Osterkat, Godera and other rivers.

Extractive industry
Forests make up more than 20% of the territory. There are 79 tree species in the Eastarland.
Eastarland has significant reserves of iron ore, uranium ores, bauxite, potash and rock salts, coal, zinc, copper, lead, nickel, oil, timber. The main coal mining regions are Safex and the East-Cobur coal basins. Eastarlandian proven brown coal reserves were 40.5 billion tonnes. Since 1994, imports of coal have exceeded production. Gas production does not exceed 3 billion m³. One of the largest Eastarland gas fields is Olger in Loffier. "East Oil&Gas" is one of the largest gas and oil companies in Eastarland. The main activities of the company are exploration, production, marketing and distribution of natural gas and oil.

The total length of highways is 610,500 km.
The main roads are divided into the following groups:
Motorways - The name of the road is made up of the letter A followed by the road number. Permissible speed - 130 km / h, obligatory filling stations every 50 km, concrete dividing strip, absence of traffic lights, pedestrian crossings. National roads - prefix N. Permissible speed - 90 km / h (if there is a concrete dividing strip - 110 km / h). Department roads - prefix D. Permissible speed - 90 km / h. In cities, the permissible speed is 50 km / h. The use of seat belts is mandatory. Children under 10 years old must be transported in special seats.
Air transport Eastarland has about 475 airports. 325 of them have asphalt or concrete runways, and the remaining 150 are unpaved (data for 2017).

Hydroelectric power plants account for 20.35% of production, while nuclear power plants account for 11.80%. Solar energy accounts for about 0.03%. Less than 0.01% comes from wind farms.
