The Republic of Oslasa65 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.698 billion Oslasa65ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 76.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Oslasa65ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,132 trillion pounds a year, is broadly 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 277,051 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government is reining in public spending, thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses, corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oslasa65's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Oslasa65 is ranked 286,049th in the world and 11,029th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 5.18 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
