The Republic of Oslasa61 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.492 billion Oslasa61ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oslasa61ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,569 trillion rupees 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 black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, 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 209,436 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence, nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids, oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, and enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oslasa61's national animal is the cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Oslasa61 is ranked 115,554th in the world and 1,799th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 328.71039379188 days.
