The Republic of Oslasa1 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 7.757 billion Oslasa1ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Oslasa1ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,041 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 263,143 deniers, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,029,490 per year while the poor average 45,820, a ratio of 22.5 to 1.

Every day's an auto-de-fé day, war vets look after war animals, it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, and the term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oslasa1's national animal is the giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Oslasa1 is ranked 282,454^th in the world and 10,503^rd in Osiris for Most Beautiful Environments, with 5.12 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
