The Republic of Oslasa56 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, parental licensing program, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 7.445 billion Oslasa56ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oslasa56ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,715 trillion guilders a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 230,392 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The number of students attending university has reached a record high, tigers that venture near secret military bases are routinely executed for espionage, the government seizes the property of the recently deceased, and sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oslasa56's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oslasa56 is ranked 115,555th in the world and 2,078th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 328.71185906872 days.
