The Sfoggio di lusso of The Republic of Osea is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Who knows honestly with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 8.498 billion Oseans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oured. The average income tax rate is 92.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Osean economy, worth a remarkable 3,208 trillion Zollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 377,613 Zollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Millionaires are surprised to find they are eligible for government handouts, former customs officers are adjusting to their new lives as market stall traders, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, and the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans. Crime is totally unknown. The Republic of Osea's national animal is the White Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Profit.

The Republic of Osea is ranked 5,564^th in the world and 49^th in 10000 Islands for Most Corrupt Governments, with 213.17 kickbacks per hour.
