The Republic of Oslasa22 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, feral children, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.535 billion Oslasa22ians 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, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oslasa22ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,948 trillion florins 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, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 258,549 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader is called 'Patches' at international summits, foreign nationals are widely distrusted, translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, and CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oslasa22's national animal is the giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Oslasa22 is ranked 115,520th in the world and 2,063rd in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 328.73122711188 days.
