The Matriarchy of Oswella is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Anastasia Andromedus with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 2.62 billion Oswellans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ethdellin. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Oswellan economy, worth 168 trillion sikrins a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,219 sikrins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anastasia Andromedus's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Oswellan politicians, and teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oswella's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Oswella is ranked 123,642nd in the world and 2nd in The Shifting Valley for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,934.42 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
