The Constitutional Monarchy of The Republic of Osea is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 379 million Oseans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oured. The average income tax rate is 24.3%.

The all-consuming Oseano economy, worth 39.6 trillion Zollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 104,469 Zollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Gossip magazines have pictures of Leader sunbathing on the beach with political rivals, Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, and octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Republic of Osea's national animal is the White Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Republic of Osea is ranked 114,044^th in the world and 1,262^nd in 10000 Islands for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 1,142.55 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
