The Republic of Oslasa21 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, compulsory military service, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.739 billion Oslasa21ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 85.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oslasa21ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,039 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 263,516 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, and politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oslasa21's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Oslasa21 is ranked 129,740th in the world and 4,704th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 841.83 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
