The Free Planets of Oshaune is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Consul Aihara Teru with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.58 billion Oshuneans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nestro. The average income tax rate is 55.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Oshaunean economy, worth 336 trillion Dracs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 94,106 Dracs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government supplies ragtag bands of resistance fighters in exchange for vague promises of future payment, solid-gold toilets are Oshaunean prisons' least expensive furnishings, elderly tribespeople die in bed surrounded by loved ones and linguists, and Consul Aihara Teru's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oshaune's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secularism.

Oshaune is ranked 18,013^th in the world and 1^st in The Draco Sector for Nicest Citizens, with 23.56 average smiles per day.
