The ✧ Velvet Dynasty ✧ of Oseao is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Queen Liora Elarithae with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.489 billion Oseans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Malodin. The average income tax rate is 22.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Osean economy, worth 501 trillion Stardusts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,620 Stardusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, foreign invaders are putting Osean lab rats out of a job, a few people seem to spend their whole time complaining, and corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Oseao's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Verdant Ways.

Oseao is ranked 51,321^st in the world and 89^th in Horizon for Fattest Citizens, with 13.65 Obesity Rate.
