The Republic of Oslasa8 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, lack of airports, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.576 billion Oslasa8ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Oslasa8ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,423 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 187,901 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 547,342 per year while the poor average 51,000, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Code enforcement officers circle wealthy Oslasa8ians like vultures, political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster, unemployed political consultants and advertisers spend every election night weeping for the good old days, and 'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oslasa8's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Oslasa8 is ranked 115,504th in the world and 1,782nd in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 328.747879879 days.
