The Republic of Oslasa12 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, parental licensing program, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.207 billion Oslasa12ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oslasa12ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,721 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 295,610 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, the election for Leader's office's janitor is heating up, the demands of climate protestors are measured in spray-paint can sales, and popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oslasa12's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Oslasa12 is ranked 23,361st in the world and 1,452nd in Balder for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 2,119.17 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
