The República Parlamentar of Ossela is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by António Freitas with a fair hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, national health service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.254 billion Osselanos hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barmúim. The average income tax rate is 39.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Osselano economy, worth a remarkable 1,261 trillion Escudo Osselanoes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 152,890 Escudo Osselanoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Nothing in life is promised except death and government support, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, visions of giant pink Gatoes are a common side effect after Osselanos eat their meals, and barbers who trim a few inches of hair bill the government for their labor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ossela's national animal is the Gato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catolicismo Romano.

Ossela is ranked 271,064^th in the world and 107^th in Portugal for Least Corrupt Governments, with 79.14 percentage of bribes refused.
