The Frozen Shores of Oosik is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 4.695 billion Oosikians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The strong Oosikian economy, worth 234 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 50,003 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 274,652 per year while the poor average 4,627, a ratio of 59.4 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem. Oosik's national animal is the swan, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Oosik is ranked 201,358^th in the world and 5^th in Iceland for Largest Black Market, with 478 billion Standard Monetary Units.
