The Peoples Republic of The Federation of Osea and Yukotobonia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Princess Cosset with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9.303 billion Soviets are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Farbanti. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.4%.

The frighteningly efficient A member of the union economy, worth a remarkable 1,352 trillion Belkanoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 145,338 Belkanoes, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

Descriptions of properties as "a stone's throw from the city centre" require a trebuchet to be true, foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle, dynamite sales and concert audiences are booming, and school children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel. Crime is relatively low. The Federation of Osea and Yukotobonia's national animal is the Rabbiro, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Stalinist.

The Federation of Osea and Yukotobonia is ranked 51,325^th in the world and 510^th in The East Pacific for Nudest, with 207 cheeks per square mile.
